The Parts of Speech Poem Every name is called a noun, As field and fountain, street and town. In place of noun the pronoun stands, As he and she can clap their hands. The adjective describes a thing, As magic wand or bridal ring. The verb means action, something done, As read and write and jump and run. How things are done the adverbs tell, As quickly, slowly, badly, well. The preposition shows relation, As in the street or at the station. Conjunctions join, in many ways, Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase. The interjection cries out, "Hark! I need an exclamation mark!" Unknown |

| Never trust a mirror, For the mirror always lies, It makes you think that all your worth, Can be seen from the outside. Never trust a mirror, It only shows you skin deep, You can’t see how your eyelids flutter, When you’re drifting off to sleep. It doesn’t show you what he sees, When you’re only being you, Or how your eyes just light up, When you’re loving what you do. It doesn’t capture when you’re smiling, Where no one else can see, And your reflection cannot tell you, Everything you mean to me. Never trust a mirror, For it only shows your skin, And if you think that it dictates your worth, It’s time you looked within. Never Trust a Mirror, Erin Hanson |

Today is her surgery to have it removed. Any good vibes and thoughts would be greatly appreciated! |

No mirror for soul, except reflection shown by others, who don’t know this inhabitant soul. It must be lonely in there. No passage out.
Elusive vision.
