SHATTERED GLASS: an acrostic--Award WinnerEntry #397770
SHATTERED GLASS: an acrostic

** #975473 Not An Image **


Shattered glass is what I am,
Hunted, haunted by all.
An image so distorted,
That I don’t know myself.

There was a time when I, too,
Enjoyed a beau visage.
Rosy were my lip and cheek,
Endearing were my looks.

Days of yore will not come back.
Gone are they now for sure.
Lamenting is of no use.
Accept, I must, this fact:

Shattered I am a mirror;
Shattered is my image!


· Written in 7-6-7-6 format

· Awarded Second Prize in ‘Every week something new contest’, Round 54, "Invalid Item" around the prompt: Shattered glass
