Ann is looking at herself
fogged in a master of disguise
hiding from her broken past
DEPRESSED
beneath the cracks in the mirror
glamoured by nighttime makeup
her eyes emerge within the paint
SEDUCTIVE
looking without cuckoo illusions
cleared of yesterday dreams
Ann sees beyond the mirror
SERENE

The image of the girl looking into her exaggerated mirror matches your beautiful words.
Well done!

Like the rest of us, Ann finds what she looks for....
Nice.

This your three brief stanzas encompass a huge psychological trip. I find the final stanza very satisfying.
I like the progression to serenity and had to laugh at cuckoo illusions (b/c I've been there).
Yes, nice work!
Depressed, seductive, serene ... you captured the essence of his photograph.
I like the progression of depressed, seductive, serene...nice write Wayne...
Your poem is a great fit with the image.

the progression of Anne is so reflective of young women (all women)
well crafted
Interesting! I do think your description is accurate-thanks!
Dear Wayne: "SERENE" Ann has made peace with self. Deep. Thank-you~!
I like the way you used the multiple faces for stages. A very nice read.
