DeleteI see us giving a big USA BITCH SLAP to the Chinese communists who unleashed this death on the world!
ReplyDeleteThat would be more of a "Vision" or a "picture," Chuck.
DeleteIsn't a mirror supposed to provide a reflectiin of OURSELVES as individuals?
Signor Franco's interrogative is quite apropos: "Isn't a mirror supposed to provide a reflection of OURSELVES as individuals?"
DeleteI would reply that in Chuck's case, perhaps it has!
Buona giornata!
Yes t probably des in the sense that We learn more about "PETER" from what he says about "PAUL" than we do about Paul.

ReplyDeleteWhat saw in this rejected post was the usual formulaic, platitudinous, self-serving BILGE we have consistently gotten from a fatuous, tedious, chronically unwelcome source for years.
DeleteSorry, but we don't suffer hypocrites anymore gladly than we do utter fools.

ReplyDeleteWhat is this bewhiskered face I see
Looking up at me from the bottom of the well?
Wreathed in glowing green ferns
It might be that of a Faun –– a Satyr ––
Perhaps the Devil, himself? I
t couldn't be me. I don't have horns,
And besides, I never have looked well in green.

A face devoid of love or grace,
ReplyDeleteA hateful, hard, successful face,
A face with which a stone
Would feel as thoroughly at ease
As were they old acquaintances,—
First time together thrown.
~ Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
_____ MIRROR _____
ReplyDeleteI am silver and exact.
___ I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see
___ I swallow immediately
Just as it is,
___ unmisted by love or dislike.
I am not cruel,
___ only truthful‚
The eye of a little god,
___ four-cornered.
Most of the time I meditate
___ on the opposite wall.
It is pink, with speckles.
___ I have looked at it so long
I think it is part of my heart.
___ But it flickers.
Faces and darkness
___ separate us over and over.
Now I am a lake.
___ A woman bends over me,
Searching my reaches
___ for what she really is.
Then she turns to those liars,
___ the candles or the moon.
I see her back,
___ and reflect it faithfully.
She rewards me with tears
___ and an agitation of hands.
I am important to her.
___ She comes and goes.
Each morning it is her face
___ that replaces the darkness.
In me she has drowned a young girl,
___ and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day,
___ like a terrible fish.
~ Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)

ReplyDeleteConstructive, yet corrosive all at once ––
Evoking doubt and fear along with wonder ––
Contemptuous of each and every blunder ––
Intolerant of all who play the dunce ––
Looking zealously for what was lacking ––
Exacting in extracting each detail.
Such microscopic vision’s bound to fail
Grandeur stifled ‘neath minutiae stacking.
Each atom seen as a totality
Never helps to grasp interconnection. Then
Hovering high above, the Majesty
Appears. It’s image clears as atoms merge
Revealing more than mere minute inspection. Then
The Wonder and the Glory soon emerge.
~ FreeThinke
Obama contacted Foreign Leaders to be against President Trump.
ReplyDeleteThis is an issue the Democrats do not want discussed about Barack Obama, who has worked feverishly to get the friends he made in Canada and other foreign countries to go after and hurt President Trump using lies and extreme collusion to take down a sitting President. Meanwhile, a smug Nancy Pelosi is daily discrediting the President with lies and innuendos, and even seditious and criminal acts against a sitting President with her power abuses going to smear him almost constantly in her devious works.

ReplyDeleteI don't see anything.
Does that mean I'm a vampire?
I can see us Americans who have VERY short memories going back to buying all that Chinese CRAP again.
ReplyDeleteAnd forget what they did to us, causing Death, effecting our Health, and bringing down our Economy!
I see a blank white page.
ReplyDeleteThat indicates a severe lack of IMAGINATION and CREATIVITY, CL, –– either that or simple LAZINESS on your part.
DeleteNow, don't you want to take time to consider how OTHERS have responded, and then see if your mind is not as empty as you had presupposed?
Excellent post Franco.
ReplyDeleteAt first glance, I thought it was toilet tissue.
ReplyDeleteWhat will become of me?
Not a bad guess, Andie, but a more thorough look at the TEXT would have told you it was a MIRROR.
DeleteNOW what do you see? ;-)
A snowshoe rabbit in a snow storm?
ReplyDeleteI find this article absurd.
ReplyDeleteThe eitorial staff here gave you an excellent chnce to look at YOURSELF, and, apparently, what you nave seen strikes you a absurd.
DeleteThat is sad. I'm sorry for you.
Perhaps you ought to take a cloer look.
