I Lost My Make-up Mirror: a poem

This week’s photo for Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #254 inspired my poem I LOST MY MAKE-Up MIRROR.

I lost my make-up mirror,
I didn’t know where it went,
Where’d it go?
I didn’t know,
I searched for it till my aging back was bent,
Then some time later,
(Some six months hence I think,)
I was going down the pub for a drink,
And then, what do you know?
Can you guess?
I bet you can’t!
I found it lying in the snow,
safe and sound,
on the ground,
beside a dried dead plant.

    • Wow! It is crazy, isn’t it? 😁
      When they were children, Andrew’s brother lost a little toy car in the sands on a beach in Yorkshire. Three years later they returned on another holiday and he dug it up building a sand castle.
