Image: Golden Mirror on the Wall (here)
Through the looking glass
Aspects of lifestyle revealed
Much of hard facts in the past
Recounted seen and sealed
Through the mirrored images
Dorian Gray set to gradually age
Not seen by eyes but set to amaze
Wonder of living picture in its place
Through mirror, mirror on the wall
Arrogance of beauty stamped its mark
Who was then the fairest of them all
Humility invoked spiced with lots of luck
Bjorn at d'Verse's: Poetics -
through the looking glass

What a great subject to write about Hank. Wonderful read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
That Dorian Gray painting/mirror at least gives one hope of finding some of the truth if we see clearly.
ReplyDeleteThe fairest of all depends on when you are looking.
ReplyDeleteYes Dorian Gray is such a great image of a mirror telling the truth... even below what's skin-deep
ReplyDeleteCan be a when or who and you may not get a clear view
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite classics, Dorian Gray.
ReplyDeleteI need a mirror like Dorian Gray had!
ReplyDeleteLove the three stories with mirrors referenced: Alice, Dorian Gray (the painting being his true mirror) and Snow White. Cool poem. (And ditto what Bekkie said -- be nice to have Dorian's mirror/painting as long as it doesn't turn me evil)
