MIRRORING REFLECTIONS


Crystal clear
(courtesy: google images)
Nothing concave 
or convex
Plain – just me
Hair waves a partition 
Split left and right
Knowing not where 
Exclamations 
Would spring up
For the sensory
To pick and lead
To me 
Within
Echoes my search   
Through the pages
Of my nest – gossamer 
I find
Revealing 
Parallel postures
Of diffidence 
Indifference
Growing to find
A focal point 
To converge
Into a collage 
Of little differences 
I seek
Beyond the beauty
Of the noticeable 
That I carry-
Crystal clear


For Poets United Mid-Week Motif ~ Mirror

  2. Very fine, and complex so that I suspect the "crystal clear" is irony. I mean, who looks for the exclamations in the hair and the parallel postures and nest and the collage of difference which makes for a greater beauty than immediately obvious. I will see more after reading this poem.

  4. Beyond beauty, Crystal clear - love the words used to create the image (or is at an illusion) very nicely done

  6. I specially like the ending lines ~ Its hard to see with clarity beyond the flesh & the differences that divides us ~ Good one akila ~

  7. We seek our own uniqueness 'beyond the beauty of the noticeable,' I think!

  8. Don't worry . . . shower, shampoo, a little conditioner, towel dry and gently brush . . . everything will be fine.

  12. I agree that sometimes we need to see beyond the noticeable beauty so as to find the real beauty.

  13. I like the first two lines! Nothing is crystal clear even when we can see the reflection clearly!
