Trish, This is a very well written poem you have penned for the Mirror poem writing prompt contest. You used very good heart felt words that are so full of truth. Perfect imagery. May God bless you and good wishes in the contest. love, Teri

Thank you for this very nice review. I came in 3rd in the contest, which is alright with me! I appreciate your reading my poem.
Comment from Pantygynt
Metrically and syllabically free an yet set out in quatrains with a rhyme scheme following an abcb pattern, the piece feels as if it has a stronger rhythm than is the case, consequently it flows well and is easily read aloud.

Though you have exposed some positive view and changes, I find you have negative aspects of changes if any, would not favour complete solution to the wrongful practices by politicians and others of posing human actions ensuring inhuman activities in violation of human rights in terms of colours; mirror does reflect truths but lookers thoughts matter; enjoyed the read; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this; wish you good luck in the contest.

You have a good point...however, I prefer to think positive in that I can make a change in the world. Thank you so much for reading my poem. It's always appreciated.
Comment from JJ22
I really enjoyed reading this poem! What I like most about it, is that you have cleverly drawn a connection between the current sociopolitical climate/ Black Lives Matter and the writing prompt, and delivered your verse in a way that is emotional and relatable to readers. I also really like how the first verse transitions seamlessly into the next ("missing pieces that my heart once enshrined" and "missing is the faith in my fellow man"). I think it would be cool to end/ begin all lines in this way (although I also appreciate that this method could be somewhat limiting).

It's a good and honest talk I just want want to add that there is a lot of difference between we want to change and we can actually Chane and the most confusing thing here is do people actually aware of what they want to change or not

I see reality in your writing. Truth. Your use of rhyme was very good, and I felt emotionally getting involved in your poem. Your choice of graphics enhanced your story.

Comment from sherrygreywolf
You have written a very nice poem, both thought-provoking and timely. I did see one thing that needs changing -
"violence reins (should be reigns) now"
Other than that, good job!

Comment from Melodie Michelle
Outstanding poem and it's perfect for the contest entry. You adhered to the roles and I wish you luck on your work;-)
The flow would flow better if you said
("That these troubled days will remain, as we persevere")
Thank you for sharing and God bless;-)

OMG! how intense and creative tis this piece. And the artwork is off the rector scale with fiery excitement. The words and the artwork make a very powerful duo presentation and both make an amazing point. Thank you for sharing

Looking in the mirror and seeing not only the outer shell, but also the inner man is not always easy, One has to dig down deep and view honestly. Well done!
