Standing from afar, he looked like a used-up old man. I took a few steps closer and he looked like a troubled middle-aged male. As I moved even closer, he looked like a directionless younger gentleman. I stood face to face with him, and he looked like a hardened teenager. I took of his glasses and stared into his soul and I saw that he was truly only a scared child. Then I scared myself when I remembered that I was looking into a mirror....

I really liked the way you progressively found yourself in the mirror, passing through all those analysis stages. It's a great poem! |

Very nice progression through the regression. Well thought out. I enjoyed this Alain. You may enjoy one I posted on the Open Forum titled Untitled #35. It has a similar theme. Thank you. Smile... ------------------ lenny |
