silently truth speaks -
the face of my mother fills
my mirrored gaze

Happy Birthday to your Mother. I suspect you do have your own face, as do I, but I enjoy seeing the relationship in the mirror. That is truth, that relationship, for sure. Neat puzzle of a poem. PS, Once again, I enjoy the music too.
Wishing your mother a very happy day. I had a moment like that some years ago when I looked in the mirror and saw my grandmother's face superimposed on mine. Pretty cool. Loved your poem.
Thanks for your appreciation Susan. Happy you dropped by to read mine

Facial features or other attributes do get passed on; I did inherit some skills from my father
and other different ones from my mother but when younger I thought I was adopted as I looked like neither of them!
I love how you've encapsulated that recognition in the small egg of a haiku, Gillena. Happy birthday to your mum!
Chip of the old block is lovingly there all the while. Yes, No running away, gillena!

Happy birthday to your mother, though belated one day. I like your haiku. Appearance-wise, my sister looks more like my mother than I. But I find myself doing something like my mother would do as I get older.

This painting may have shocked some people at the time!

Happy Thursday!
