"An Elegy"

I am not me anymore...

there's a girl in the mirror
with the sunny-blonde hair.

so this must be
how Britney felt,
to have a piece of her
washed out--

and now I also mourn-
for that piece of me
I lost.

I actually read into this deeper than usual. Any change to a physical characteristic usually leaves us feeling like we've lost a section of ourselves. You've made me think. Thank you.

Imagination=nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality.

I liked this. Interesting, simple and uniquely effective. Nice one.

And you can always change the outside..it takes much more to alter the inside, remember that.

Why is it that we are at our most ingenius only when trying to destroy the things that keep us alive and thriving?

This is less serious than your other poetry, in a way, but you always do carry it with such a somber tone.  I don't know what to say, really.

This poem did impress me in terms of style, once more.  I also liked the title.

Nicely done, Anawnda.
