A face looked up from in a well
As deep as I could see;
Smoky as a ghost, it looked
A little bit like me.I wanted to go to it, but
I worried that I could
Be stuck below myself. But should I
Leave it there for good?Risk is part of rescue;
Doctors can get ill.
A face looked up from in a well, and
It is down there still.

I write about halls of mirrors sometimes. There is a song by a NZ band 'The Headless Chickens" that goes:
'If I had vision who would I see?
Maybe its you and maybe its me'I kind of like that. But the well is interesting. Interesting. Got me thinking about the dog with a bone too but I guess that is a different issue ;-)

Thanks for the feedback. I liked the thought of a reflection (darker and distorted)down below, suggesting imprisonment. Yeah, a little like the dog and bone, but not the jealousy part, of course.

Narcissus... Oh thats the story of someone falling in love with their reflection. Different story again :-)Yeah. Imprisonment. Little Timmy (Bart) down the well. Sorry... Got my associations going.
I liked your poem very much indeed. I write poetry very rarely. Need to be in the mood or something. I have been known to ramble a fair bit in poetic form, but I don't think it really counts as poetry. But I enjoyed yours very much. Thanks for posting it.
