Poetic Thursday: The Looking Glass

Thursday again; poetry again with our friend, Pam, and her kitties, Teddy and Angel Sammy.  They blog over at Two Spoiled Cats, and each week, they host this fun meme.

Last week, they gave us this adorable picture for our inspiration for today’s poetry:

Here’s my poem:

The Looking Glass

From that very first look,
most of us are hooked.

Catching a glimpse, here and there;
checking our make-up or maybe our hair.

A lifeline for teenage boys and girls,
when that tiny pimple is the end of the world.

A full-length one on your wedding day,
as your dad nervously waits to give you away.

First thing in the morning, what a scare.
Hurry! Wash your face and comb your hair.

Our autumn years bring wrinkles, my friends.
But they just remind us where smiles have been.
