This is the first new poem I've written in a very long time, so I apologize if I'm rusty. Mirror The mirror throws back verisimilitude in its cold, clean gleam. Eyes of an iced verdant green stare deep, a hollow ache revealing itself through the shadows of a gaze. Phantasmagoric memory haunts the orbs that linger in reflection on the glass. (The image blurs as her pain sharpens.) And the mirror is an idle idol, giving no respite to the soul beneath the eyes. Instead it is just an indifferent keeper, watching silently as her emerald vision succumbs to chill. ~*Krista Lee Knutson*~ |

Krista My mirror is often not my friend....cold it is, and hurtful at times. Look within, where the true beauty lies. I'm glad to see you writing again. I'd like to see more! |

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm glad my rustiness isn't too bad! Hopefully some more poetry will come to me too--its been a long time since I've had a good flow. Thanks again, it is deeply appreciated. ~*Krista Lee Knutson*~ |

Well at least the mirror didn't crack! ~ from the chill, that is! ~not the from your image that was reflected in it! (which by the way is very lovely!) Your pen may be bit rusty (according to you!) but the ink is pure gold! Welcome back hugs, EA |
