    .....Not much just my first poem.

    Mirror Mirror

     Mirror, mirror, on the wall
    who is the poorest one of all?
    Is it the man full of pity and woe,
    or the richest man who still wants more?

    Mirror, mirror, on the wall
    who is the smartest one of all?
    Is it the girl who gets A's on her test,
    or maybe the man who knows of happiness.

    Mirror, mirror, on the wall
    who is the happiest one of all?
    Hey hey, what's that you say?
    no answer will come today.
    For no one truly is content
    no matter the meaning or extent.

    Very well said. It's human nature to never be satisfied. Gratitude is practiced.

    Clever. Maybe -contentment- is too subjective of a thing to be the same for everyone. Guess it depends on what makes one content. Maybe. (Is it the man full of pity and woe, or the richest man who still wants more?) - This caught my eye. To think a rich man could still be poorer. Sharp minded poem.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
