This is my resolution for 2011 - to post a poem on here every day. I'm not saying it's the next Shakespeare. It's just me. I take no credit for most pictures featured unless they're the ones from my own camera.

How to Forget Your Reflection
Look in the mirror
remind yourself you're repulsive
Look at the floor
avoid eye contact
to forget.
Try to stop the mind whirring
at a stranger's whisper
Don't guess what they're saying
concentrate on your feet
count the cracks in the pavement
one
two
three
Forgotten for the time being.
A glimpse of a reflection
in the window
Another reminder
count the cracks again
try to forget.
