 MIRROR   by Sipra Roy





Mirror is an useful glassy object  for reflection.

From my childhood I was too fascinated

To move away from mirror, like Nercissus.

One of my favorite game was to caricature  odd faces 

In front of the mirror  to enjoy the distorted images.

I was crazy for  having some full-sized large mirror .

For frequent transfer, my father avoided fragile furniture.

In those days, at night mirror was covered with lace  

So that it doesn't dazzle, and disallowed us looking own face.-

 Superstitious elders terrorized that  face would be  distorted

 We were innocent to. believe that  and obeyed .

Beauty  would have remained unexplored 

In the absence of mirror .

But mirror is a. deceiver ;

It has the power to distort image,

It is used as great metaphor in literature.

Enid Blyton made  world-wide famous  

In the Rhyme, "Mirror ,mirror on the wall,

Who is the prettiest in the world?
