Most of us also look better in the mirror naturally than we do in a photograph. I just like to think that I am Narcissus for a brief moment while brushing my teeth. This is an excellent portrayal on makeup, literal or more abstract. I would write more, but I need to finish this review before midnight reset : )

The mirror hiding the true self and the person within needing escape, was my take on this beautifully written poem. I read it more than once to grasp the meaning, which is a symbol of a grear poem.

Hello Jessica. This is a great poem that is reflective and self descriptive. The poignancy is palpable and your skill paints a strong picture of a tortured soul. Well done.

I enjoyed this poem. The picture is different. It is mysterious and interesting. The words you used describe the picture
Well. Great job.

"The widest I ever did paint." Does this mean that you were truly satisfied with the image, or was this the best-drawn mask to hide what is really going on? The voices that beat beneath buttons is a pretty good phrase. I know that feeling all too well. This is a very good poem. Good luck.

What would we do without mirrors? I look into one daily and take it for granted. One of the best inventions ever. I enjoyed the melody in your skilful poem and wish you luck with the contest, love Dolly x

This brings out images and feelings of the lengths that we go through for the public to accept us. We have to love our self first. A poem that brings out philosophical feelings.

Best wishes for the Mirror Contest. There is much superstition surrounding mirrors. How clever to make a cover for that mirror that breaks your peace and silence. It is said, the mirror is a portal to hell. K xx

I love this poem.

surfacing truth
with a palette that pleases the glass

sealed are the polished red lips
on the mask I have made for the mirror,

Well said and wonderfully written. As the saying goes::

We are what we think we are (in the mirror)
We are what others think we are (no need for the mirror)
We are what we really are (without the mirror) =)
