The Second Mirror Avoids the Question (Revision

Todd

I like this.
A few nits follow.

Relace one truth with another word if possible.

The surface of the pond is mute...
this really isn't a metaphor
using a pond so this should remain in the mirror I think.

a dull glass of no opinion....
we actually do get the mirrors opinion


Your face is the dawn’s light:
cheekbones rise like mountains,
skin soft as freshly fallen…Truth

is a luxury.
an icy sliver
searching for the heart.

This is excellent. nice imagery.



You are the fairest of them all—
the blooming rose
in sultry summer,

in a land without snow,
snow, snow.

This is the best of the best in this poem. It's a poem all in itself.

She would be the fairest if not for Snow White.

Love the snow snow snow
wish I had thought of that.

Cheers
David
