The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Rear-View Mirror

Objects in mirror are closer than appear
that reflected world is smaller than here
in miniature depicted in sharpest clarity
do not be fooled by this similarity.

Strangest of all in this tiny universe
it seems that all things have gone in reverse
landscapes depart in unseemly haste
released from our vision as soon as embraced.



Line count: 8

Prompt: Write a rear-view poem.
