Vanity

Break the mirror into pieces,
Kiss the heel of Sexy,
Say "good bye."
Vanity no longer idolized,
She mutilates her own reflection,
Her face no longer recognized.
She breaks the mold; hidden in disguise,
Crush the vertebrae of deception,
A refreshing reinvention,
She starts anew...

I'm wondering at what might cause such a break with values held. Makes me wonder, makes me think. Art at it's finest :)

Well said, though sometimes it takes a little bit of aging to gain such wisdom. Nice poem.

[Priscilla Sayers]

A stunning piece! Full of conviction! Nice!

All creation requires some destruction...so an ending opens a way to a new beginning

Simple, yet profound since the application is far reaching.

I like the rhythm and cadence of the lines, the way they stand and then run, twirl and then dip in an enticing sort of enchantment that titillates the intellect while taunting sensuality...

Just enough unpredictable variance to interest while yet retaining a catchy rhyming pattern. Sophisticated in its simplicity and direct approach. Your writing shows considerable promise!

This seems like a poem written for the purpose of healing. Though it has a positive ending it still holds much sadness. An Excellent write!

Glad to see that you are starting over.
A stiletto is a good place to start, it '
will shatter many men`s heart.
I would like to see more of this newly
created writing.
