Reflections: A Dixdeux

Written for Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction
Challenge
and Val’s Haiku Scavenger Hunt

I’ve had a blast participating in Val’s
Haiku Challenge. I learned so much!
Thanks, Val. Here to the next one!

Nancy’s Notes: A dixdeux is an alternative to the Haiku. Dixdeux means ten- two and refers to the syllable count of the lines of the tercet: 10-10-2.

This is “I’ll Be Your Mirror” by The Velvet Underground
