Learners Mirror Poetry ....Thanks Edit!
The mirror........
You stand right before me
in admiration
of self emulated beauty
the giggle is spontaneous
and
genuine
then you break down into a seeming reunion
now you dance
after a refreshing perfumed prance
let your towel fall
without a trace of wrath
then you laugh,
loud
the world may hear
as you are seemingly calling
for your loved one
oh my dear
finally through life’s magnetic trance
you wander
and
mindlessly ballet dance
then it’s all over
the mirror cracks
all curves break
and
cheeks smack
you shrivel...

When he was good he was very very good,
but when he was bad he was horrid.
This is not horrid.
My only quibble is
is an implanted fiancée for thee [why oh why do you use those archaic thees and thous? They only sound pretentious and add nothing.]
I don't understand the reference to Judy. What did I miss?
The ending is brutal almost beyond endurance and yet somehow elevates the poem to the sublime.
I give you endless shit, dear Loved, and always read your work, to find these pieces of enduring art.
cheers,
Jess

to find these pieces of enduring art. WOW! Should I thank you Jess!
That's why I admire you most
Call a bloody spade a spade
and hack any one
who with poetry does trade.
I know no nuances of poetry
as I was born a poet
So me thinks!
