Is it a question? Or the same poem?
If the "OR" is part of the poem, it's kind of appealing. Otherwise there's not much to seriously critique.

The first one has a more figurative meaning to it, while the second one has a more literal meaning. That's my interpretation, at least. Honestly, with the poem(s) 7 words long, it is hard to give a thorough critique on it. I do like your choice of words though; 'shattered', 'scattered' and 'broken' all work really well in the imagery of the poem. Once again, there's not much to seriously critique.
Back!

Way too long. Terse-verse really needs to say a geat deal in a few words, or something worth saying in a few more. This is neither a condensate nor a revelation. The whole thing is a cliche from start to finish and is indicative of lack of effort. I have to ask....are you seriously expecting a critique? Frankly, I find this offends me.
Sorry,
Best,

There's a longer version in the mild critique section.

I'd say just don't use "mirror" in it.

oh, dear... i have to agree with tectak... however, it did make me think of 'alice in wonderland' and 'through the looking glass'... but I am not sure that is enough to save it.
