What a lovely poem for a Mirror contest! The rhythm and the rhymes are excellent. It is the fact of life that we get older every year, and when we look in the mirror we are disappointed with what we see. At least we can still be young at heart. Good luck in the contest!

I enjoyed reading your well-written poem. It flows well with your sincere thoughts of aging. It is good to hear that you do not feel old. I like how you added a memory of when you bought that picture. And how it reminds you of aging because you had it so long. Don't give it away. It might be worth a lot of money one day. See if you can find it its worth. Best wishes

This poem follows the contest requirements.
It is visually attractive with the accompanying picture and colorscheme.
I like the nose-thumbed attitude toward the mirror.
Well done.
Best wishes for the contest

It is all about how we feel and not what we look like, a smile can take 10 years off a person, just remember that and you will always feel younger, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Mirrors can be a friend or foe you are right but true beauty lies within and you don't need a mirror for that! I've gotten old over the years but I'm blessed with every wrinkle I see. Excellent poem!

Good job. Clean up the meter, and you will have a great one. I think line eight should be worked on. Good job on the ending. It ties everything up quite nicely.

I like this! Nice job with sharing feelings most of us have when the mirror shows us we're older. After this contest we all may be donating our mirrors to the good will.

Nice poem mystery poet. I'm so glad the writer feels young as I wish this for all our seniors.
Great entry for this contest.
Your rhymes are strong and the poem flows smoothly.
Heads up on your font color though. The yellow against the grey is really hard to see. May I suggest a darker font. Or, if you want to keep the yellow font, make the background dark grey or black.
Good luck in the contest!
