An intellectual look
Clean the mirror
What is that I see?
An image
Fragile and hazy
Illusions
ready to decieve
A plastic smile
With misunderstood tears
Finally a small payment
A suspense-what's seeing?

Difficult choices, finding a frame we like, or can at least tolerate. Familiar struugle.

thank you
Buzzy, what happened to the prompt words?
I like what this is leading up to. You do have a way with words, my dear:)
I play a lot, Rose.
Are you looking in a mirror? are you asking us what the object is? Perhaps a picture frame as Kathryn suggest , very interesting Bhawana
trying to select a frame, for reading glasses.. Elsie.thanks
So Kathryn and I are both right, looking in a mirror to find a proper fitting and flattering fram for your reading glasses for those lovely eyes. I used to have to do that too, and never could find what I wanted, good luck with your search
and that's the supense to find out what this poem is all about......lol...Elsie...
Your prose is a "Reflection" of your talent. Alice through the looking glass.
much thanks,David
very good, bhawana.... they always want us to pick frames when we can't SEE without the Glasses. fragile and hazy is It! And the plastic smile with misunderstood tears is what I feel happens after one commits and Then they do the price "add-ons".
:)
much honored,Penni but really don't those shorties to bring smiles on kids too..Yo're cool!
Tagore said it is more important what is not said than what is said.it is true for ur prose.
True words,Papa.
Aha plastic smile. In a way, plastic cannot be destroyed like atma, so the smile will be immortal. Beautifully written. You lifted a mundane event to somewhere else.
Irony etc.
You said where I stopped.Thanks,Handsome
The choice of a mirror doesn't change what we see but can affect how we see it. I'm impressed, Buzz!
mission accomplished...I always try to impress cool John;)
You've managed it quite well, dear Bhawana... bravissimo! :-)
Hugs and blessings - S.
Thanks Dear Sveta.You kindness is above so many words.
Excellent piece...and I know that feeling when you're choosing eyeglass frames but can't really see how they look :)
Hi Stacey hope your hubby liked what you bought;)
Very well written.Very imiginative.
I would never have thought to write about this.
Marge...my numbers are increasing due to GATHER but not my points...lol
bad joke;)
Wow. What a true story you weave, with such elegance.
Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting
Thanks,Angela.
I always agonize when choosing new frames. I'm am used to seeing myself in glasses now but I remember how much I did not enjoy having to purchase that first pair. Well done.
now I am also enjoying choosing frames;) Thanks,Kay.
Nice pacing in unfolding your versed tale.
I do have one minor suggestion. Change your last word to missing.
Fascinating reflection. Lovely.
