POEM: Reflections on Reflections

April 5, 2013 · Scotorum

This is my write for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge. The challenge this week is to write about mirror reflections, and what you learn from them. The challenge includes using a reversed word to which the author assigns a meaning.

REFLECTIONS ON REFLECTIONS

Mirrored reflections show you true,
but on the reverse side of you.
To understand what registers
you must adjust to your features.

This is a process quite worthwhile.
For knowing others requires guile
to see them as they see themselves
and view the things upon their shelves.

So when you’re at a lidoffad,
and need to tell the good from bad,
see them through a mirrored eye.
It might just help learn truth from lie.
