how fragile are you today
ever since I left no one calls you the fairest of them all
you just wanted a mirror, mirror, on the wall
well your reflection is shattered now
time to look at what is real
to start over so you can heal
what looks back
will look different
but will be a familiar dream
please don't put on a show
no one is watching
we're all busy looking in the mirror
a good first impression is key
vulnerability will inspire distrust
you will shatter again
you are very fragile today
better rehearse your act more
because attention means they like you

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
Poemosaurus Rex Challenge Winners
Hard to conceive, now, how extraordinary it would have been to find the bones of those terrible lizards in the earth — in a time before humans had conceived of anything other than a Great Chain of Being, a static creation. Yet long after Darwin they still have a hold over us, these creatures which are the ancestors of sparrows and seagulls. All hail the dinosaur! They are at once real and mythic, objects of science and objects of wonder, exhibitions in museums and children’s toys. No wonder Vocal Creators responded with such a variety of work to our Poemosaurus prompt.
