Marc Latham’s latest Folding Mirror poem uses a double mirror image, as you might experience in a vehicle or barber/hairdresser’s, as a metaphor tool for contemplating life in middle-age.
Through the Looking Glass Reflect Future and Past
reflecting front view mirror
I can see behind
and me looking ahead
as memory is used to review
yourself previewing one’s future
I sit in the middle, neither here nor there
contemplating half life past
like reflection can show the way
my back is visible
before what is ahead
through rear looking glass
Interesting poetry form and a good example.
Thanks Ruth, glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant idea, concept and execution, Marc!
Thanks a lot Caroline.
