My mother-in-law once told me that when she first wakes up, she often feels like she's 18 and is frightened when she looks into the mirror. What if you didn't look in the mirror too often and you changed?

It’s odd but my neighbors think I’m witchy—
I love clothes gold and ebony.
An Ogre will help defend me
when neighbors pitch me in a tree.
How much is an Ogre from the forest?
I prefer a horrific smell!
How much is an Ogre from the forest?
I’ll hire them as Oggs aren’t for sale!
Sometimes my dyed hair’s pink (orange?) … itchy.
My neighbors point when I go by.
Whene’er I see capes, I must buy.
Wish I was a bird who could fly.
How much is an Ogre from the forest?
I love their green color, their scale.
How much is an Ogre from the forest?
I’ll hire them as Oggs aren’t for sale!
Weapons, wars, fighting leave humans stitchy.
I prefer to dance in the street,
to tell stories (in a heartbeat),
and think loud laughter is so sweet.
How much is an Ogre from the forest?
I wish to be one for a spell.
How much is an Ogre from the forest?
I’ll hire them as Oggs aren’t for sale!
(I peer in the mirror, laughing silly;
reflection's an Ogre.
That’s me!)

The only mirror that counts is our soul....which reflects our very essence...
Lovely and humourous pen..
