Chosen Reflections by Y. M. Roger
Etheree Poem writing prompt entry


Aaah...
who's that
with gray hair?
Familiar  eyes
shine  recognition
as gentle laugh lines frame
a bright and still-youthful smile.
It’s been said that mirrors don’t lie,
but what if their truth’s simply a choice?
Today, I choose the bright smile sans the gray!
