When in the Mirror She Peers

You paired a poignant illustration with a very apt poem. The type is easy to read by way of color and contrast to the background. Young girls spend a lot of time dreaming of the future. It's hard for a girl to know when she has become a woman.
Best wishes.

I like your interpretation. It's like putting words to instrumental composition. Rockwell was a master storyteller with paints. Your 'lyrics' have the feel of truth.
Excellent use of 25 syllables.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee

Thank you so much, Lee, for your wonderful response to my poem. Indeed Rockwell was a master storyteller. I don?t think there?s a painting of his I don?t like.

I have a granddaughter, 11 going on 18 who is the light of my life, (really Jesus is) but I don't want her to grow up before her, but she cares about make-up, girlie things, and Jesus, but fortunately not boys yet. Beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

The author's words are clear, descriptive and creative. I liked the words
the author uses to lead us to the last line. The poem flows and connects
well. The artwork is awesome and compliments these words.

Excellent narrative. There is so much more to tell I feel. So much more to this story than the restrictions of twenty five syllables allow. Well composed and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Every little girl wants to be a star! ... or at least look like one.
What a sweet poem, Author. I really liked this Norman Rockwell image that you chose for your poem. The two worked very well together.
If only our childhood dreams could have come true!
Good luck in the contest :)
Susan :)
