Narcissism

Noticably lighter than my normal style... We had an assignment in English for Valentine's Day. We had to write a love-themed poem. Everyone was going bitter, so I thought I'd try something a little... different.

"Narcissism"

 

Raising my head,

What do I see?

Who's this beautiful creature

Staring at me?

 

With hair like spun gold

And eyes like the sun,

Lips rosey red

And a dimple for fun.

 

A face that stays lovely

Throughout all time...

Oh geez I just realized

I'm thinking in rhyme!

With a small sigh, I blow a kiss to the mirror and exit the room.

I like that. It's short, sweet, and it strays from the normal conception of "I hate myself" that is so often present in poetry (definetly is in mine). Well done.
