I love this beautiful poem; even if I am not certain that I fully understand it. It could be about two people who are in conflict with one another. It could also be about a conflict between two sides of the same individual who see him or herself in the mirror. It could be a conflict between a teenaged child and his/her parent. It could also be an adult who remember him/herself as a younger person and has a similar conflict within that a parent could have with a child. Poetry should be a little vague. Great work!

Teens suck sometimes. I love the line "mirrored image inverted" perfectly worded.
ReplyDeleteHmm. You must be in your teens...
ReplyDeleteThis one hurts. Conflict is never easy to describe, but your description of the inverted image nailed it! Thanks for this one.

ReplyDeleteMirrors invert, providing us with a distorted image of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteBut who are we, if we are not what we see as our reflection?
Awfully deep thoughts for a Saturday morning!
Great job!
Wow, this is excellent, painful and thought provoking...the imagery is illuminating !
ReplyDeleteI'm in my forties and sometimes feel like a teen, should take the one vowel out and think like a ten instead. Thought provoking post.
ReplyDeleteThis one hits hard.
ReplyDeleteNice job.
=)

ReplyDeleteA stunning post!So much emotion in so few words!
ReplyDeleteThis is so you and I like the new look!
ReplyDeleteThose two last lines are especially profound. Your writing amazes me.
ReplyDeleteWell done Sunday 160. Sometimes that reflection can seem a stranger. Thanks for playing.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully poignant. If only moments like these were rare, not frequent, they might be a little easier to swallow...
ReplyDeletemade me think you kids who often mirror us in many way yet inverted fits at times as well...
ReplyDeleteso thought provoking ...
ReplyDeleteOuch! I don't like that mirror, but your words are perfect!
ReplyDeleteEven reflections seem strangers at times, don't they? Wonderfully worded!
ReplyDeleteYeah...
ReplyDeleteIn my mind I'm 25.
But the mirror tells me different!
Wow, this was very deep. Wonderful job as always!

I remember hearing years ago that assume makes an ass out of you (u) and me. Very nice. Glad to see you are still writing.
ReplyDeleteI like imagery that we can each apply to our own situations. Your poem was wonderful in that allowed us each to do that.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the sense of conveyance each carefully crafted word shared. Really great writing.
nice....
