SATURDAY CENTUS
http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/2011/05/saturday-centus-reflection-in-mirror.html
asks us to write about a mirror-image in 100 words (more or less).
TO SEE OURSELVES
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And I like what I can see.
A smiling, bright, attractive person
Smiles right back at me.
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And I see a sad old hag,
Whose face is full of wrinkles
Like a crumpled paper bag.
Sometimes I see a credit face,
Sometimes a debit vision.
Sometimes I view myself with glee,
And sometimes with derision.
I rarely look in the mirror
And see my averageness.....
A plain but pleasant lady....
No more,
No less.

RACE BASE
Swimmers at our local pool
Have to learn to keep the rule,
Lining up before each race,
Each one in a special place.
Organisation! That's the thing!
Not jumping the gun with a mighty spring!
Swimmers everywhere are the same;
They have to play a numbers game.

Smart writing. Hopefully, if I practice faithfully, I might be able to write that way one day.
ReplyDeleteGood to see rhymes for a change!
ReplyDeleteLove your mirror poem:@)
ReplyDeleteNice rhyming. I see a lot of that crumpled paper bag in my mirror! :D~Ames
ReplyDeleteNice reading this morning!
ReplyDeleteI can REALLY identify with your Centus. You are a gifted writer.
ReplyDeleteThese poems have a nice flow to them. I really like that the first one ends with no more, no less than averageness. It's poetically prolific.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

So nice...great poem which hits home in more ways than one...it's full of true life for sure! Good work!
ReplyDeleteLove the reflection poem, it's an awesome way to look at a person... as a puzzle. I think today I'm missing a few pieces... LOL
ReplyDeleteThe prompt within a poem is a very nice touch. I enjoyed the read!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your poetry. You have such a knack for visualization and meter. I read through them and the rhyme captures me...and then the words grab me even harder.
ReplyDeleteReally excellent writing here.
You are impressive.
