"Mirrors"

"I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.

What ever you see I swallow immediately

Just as it is,

unmisted by love or dislike .

I am not cruel, only truthful---"

-Sylvia Path

I was looking through the internet tonight to try and find some personifications online, because I couldn't think of any. So there was a headline in capital letters that said "MIRROR" and I was like "huh? why is this here for 'personifications'?????"

so of course I let my curiosity get a hold of me and I clicked on it....

I found this poem talking about a mirror and how this poem demonstrates personification....

Well I wanted to see what the poem actually said so I read it through....

and you must be wondering why this was so important that I blogged about it,

WELL!!!

on the last line of the poem it says

"I am not cruel, only truthful"

and if you have ever been around when someone says...

"OH MY GOSH JESSI!! YOU ARE SO MEAN!!"

*cough cough* Jason!! *cough cough*

I just say right back to them

"I am not mean, I am just truthful!"

so when I read this poem and saw that line I was like "WOW!! I say that!"

so it made me feel a little special today seeing that in a poem I have never seen before.....

so thank you for reading this.....

and tell me what you think.....

by the way: the whole poem is online but that's all I saw in the personification thing...

and the end of that poem is a bit disturbing if it's supposed to be taken literallly...o_O
