Mimicry is the greatest form of flattery


Poem Artwork

.

She's taken all my jewellery 
My clothes and make-up too 
It's inside out and crumpled up 
Where she has rummaged through 

My hats are flung discarded 
Shoes scattered all around 
She's tried it all and kept the best 
Of everything she found 

I tiptoe through the debris 
That is strewn about the floor 
And gently turn the handle of 
My daughter's bedroom door 

I take a peek and there I see 
The mirror's youngest muse 
Resplendent in my chiffon dress 
Best hat and high heeled shoes.

Ruan, This is really nice. I've just been through a number of your recent posts and they are all very good. I'm surprised that you aren't generating more reviews. (only 3 reviews for this one????) I'm curious. You have Sixty eight poems posted and only 173 reviews? Somehow, someway, someone is missing the boat here. Your writing is first rate, I'm really surprised you don't have a larger following.

Do you ever review others? That is often the way you get yourself noticed. You review them and it causes them to read some of your offerings. Quite often, they will then respond in kind, however I don't recall ever having seen your review of anyone's work. I don’t read everyone, but each day I read quite a few and that's the only reason I can come up with that might explain why you aren't generating more interest.

Hang in there though, your work is extremely good, I'm certain the reviews will eventually come. Dick

Enjoy them at that age as when they get to be sixteen, well, you know that they will change...hopefully though they will keep their playfulness throughout their young lives...e
