I Love to Write Poetry

Writing challenge of May 1

Looking at the reflection
Staring back at me
I feel a shiver coarsing through
Nerves that are flowing free

The mirror tells a truthful tale
It really cannot lie
The shower shows the condensation
Watching the glass start to cry

The towel is wrapped around me tight
From chest down to the knees
Another turbaned around my hair
It keeps away the breeze

Taking my time, styling my hair
The makeup sets just right
Nodding once, I do declare
I'm ready for tonight

@BexEyes Exquisite, wasn’t it...

@BexEyes It was one of those lines I changed at least twice, until it looked just like what I was seeing.
The "Watching the glass start to cry" line was very insightful! I loved that.

Life can be an obstacle but a little primping and preening can do wonders for our looks!
