Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror, by the sink,
tell me what you truly think.
Am I fat or am I thin?
Will I lose or should I win?

Am I short? Perhaps too tall?
Are my ears a bit too small?
Is my nose exactly right?
Do I have an overbite?

Am I weak or super strong?
Is my hair too short or long?
Am I smart or rather dumb?
Can you say what I'll become?

Am I nerdy?  Am I cool?
Am I awful? Do I rule?
Am I great or do I stink?
Mirror, mirror by the sink.

That poem really makes people think. All of your poems are neat. Thanks for writing poems and putting smiles on the faces of boys and girls. Thanks for writing poetry and making people laugh. There is no other way of thanking you that i can think of. Keep writing and making boys and girls happy. Thanks for all you do. Missy P.S. why do you have froning faces on your grading chart, when your comments will be happy? Just saying that all your poetry is great and that no one out of their right mind wouldn't give your poetry a great smiley face. I can't believe that some kid did a rolly eyes on your poetry. I can't believe that! who do they think they are? You are the best poet of all times! I hope that i will be a great auther just like you. Keep writing! thanks for all you do! you are an influence to all writers. great writing and have a good week. Missy
