Wednesday’s Words on a Friday

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago. It was great fun and when she had to give up blogging, it was taken over by a number of people, coordinated by Elephant’s Child. The meme supplies prompts as a means to encourage people to write, in whatever format they please. The words for this week have been supplied by Sandi but can be found here.

This week’s words/prompts are:

reflection   mirror   deception   air   heir

seed   planting   harvest  forget   due

 

The mirror is no master of deception;

The harvest of my life is laid out bare;

The seeds forget their planting – no reflection

Can dissipate the fate to which they’re heir.

 

If I could go back and plant again those seeds,

Would my life’s harvest be a different hue,

Or would I commit a second time those deeds

For which my punishment now is due?

 

Forgive my sombre air of introspection -

The mirror shows me all I have to share,

Try as I might I can’t avoid reflection

When seated in the bright hairdresser’s chair.
