Wow. I just picked your story out at Random and gave a quick read. And I loved it. Thanks.

Thankyou M.J.Hamilton,

you are very kind, it was an experience I hope I
never have again.

Glad you enjoyed and thankyou for letting me know.

I've done the same thing Jenny- it is very embarrassing isn't it? Fine little poem but why be so self-destructive while looking in the mirror? You are a silly one!!

Hey, Jenny...this is amazing. I love the line structure you have used for this poem. Absolutely perfect;-) And yes...I have been there; on more than one embarrassing occasion;-) You've got me giggling now, all the way to the kitchen.

Hi Pia,

thanks for reading, glad I'm not the only one that
has had this experience. It happened along time ago,
but the memory still lingers. I often talk to myself
in the mirror, not in front of others ofcourse, but
sometimes the person looking back at me, is a
stranger that I do not recognize and it feels so
strange to be in the body in the reflection, I was
just trying to relate that to the reader.

But looking back on it, was quite funny really,
and I just had to laugh at myself in that situation,
so I turned it into a joke.

Hope you are well and having a good week.

Jenny.

Wow! Tina,

I didn't know so many of us had experienced this.
I'm really glad you enjoyed, also glad I could
give you a giggle.

By the way, "Happy Birthday."

I didn't know it was your birthday, until I saw
Pia's message.

Thankyou for reading and leaving such a great
comment.

this poem is very engulfing, I'm right there with you and I also like your dark humor, good stuff.

Oh I like this too Jenny - a lot! Great title, btw.x

Hi Jenny,

Just back from a couple of weeks in Holland, and trying to catch up on your pieces. This one is great, it's comic, dark and realistic... marvellous.

Hi Steve,

hope you had a good holiday in Holland, it's a
wonderful place to visit, had a lot of great
holidays there, great for cycling, nice and flat.

I loved your description of this piece, 'comic, dark
and realistic.' What wonderful words.

Anyway I'm glad you enjoyed it and thankyou so much
for letting me know.
