Into the mirror of hindsight
I squinted toward the past
rapidly edited my errata
squeaky cleaned my life
to reflect memoir bright
...returned to the present
laughed out loud
even with the handy mirror
I didn’t get it precisely right.

This is great! I love the phrase "mirror of hindsight" and it is just terrific.
clever, clever words.
It's always those pesky little details. :)
Have a Merry Christmas
I like this, 'the mirror of hindsight' what a thought.
You've got that right! I like the rhyme in here, too! Neat poem!
clever, wonderful poem ... it brought a smile to my face! Merry Christmas! JP/deb
I've just found this wonderful poem. As someone with a reasonable store of hindsight, I loved the idea of looking 'into the mirror of hindsight', editing errata and a 'squeaky cleaned' life.
