i look in the mirror
and see the beast in my hair
and the horns that are there
and the beauty from the fair
and the wood from the tree
and the desire to be free
and the wanting to be
and the clones in my blood
and the need for the flood
and the clinging to life
despite the terrible strife
and the anchor of the wife
and the worship of ego
and the need for the soul to go
and time going slow
and then speeding up
just when you appear
to be reaching the summit

very nice poem, george. i enjoyed reading it. but tell me, what do you think about discussing poems line by line, watching every single word with a magnifying glass? i think tahat poems should be looked at as a whole, something which impresses or not.

Chani, a poem like any piece of creative work should both impress and stand dissection. Thanks for your compliments.
Georges

Beautiful poem, George~

I loved the flow, and your answer to Chani; very impressive. :)

The flow like any inspiration, must come from the source of the river, Makera. As you know, it is the flow that makes the poem.
Thanks for your kind words, i appreciate them.
Georges

Dear George

The only thing I would change would be the title to:

Ego Reflecting in.....................

Ego, Reflections of..................

Make the Titles do more work for you?

Again the images come easily of the page.

Attaboy, George, you tell him!
