All that glitters is not gold.


Poem Artwork

The "antique" store held so much more
Than ordinary stores before
Within it's walls forgotten there
A mirror stood so tall

This mirror in it's "gilded" frame
Held images but not the same
As those which stood before it bear
No not the same at all

A weak relfection given by
This mirror which did tend to lie
The silver worn from time and wear?
Gave an appearance pall

Upon inspection I did find
This reproduction of a kind
With which it's value can't compare
This seller showed his gall

I understood then as I thought
For this is why it's not been bought
Forgotten it shall be fore'r
Imposter on the wall

But it will be old in 3012, and probably valuable. ;-)

A nice little poem about your expertise with antiques and fakes. The mirror back was probably aluminum rather than silver.

But then, you are probably writing about shopping for men on the Internet with their gilded edges and faded images. Giving the appearance of youth while actually being antique. ;-)

Sometimes we fall for the imposter because it is done so well.

An excellent write of how so many are fooled
by the imposter... I love to collect originals...
I have many in my home... But the intent here is understood...

You are original with wonderful thoughts my friend :) And like so
many here your creative mind expresses them well...

Love and Light

Very well put together and outed the imposter as you are so good at seeing what there is hidden from most. This mirror, when stared at give the one staring a time-worn and pale reflection back. Absolutely, no wonder it will never be bought. Excellent poetry, Jane.
