the mistress looks in vain
for the lost looking-glass
the raindrops sounding
like a musical note chorus
water pooling left by the rain
mirrored images reflecting
the lights, the buildings,
of people passing & looking
a girl sees images in the pooling rain
takes it for a looking-glass
studies her reflection there
bewildered but on she passes
the looking-glass rain pooling
images distorted & broken
glisten like shards of glass
as raindrop words are spoken
the mistress looks in vain
for the lost looking-glass
the raindrops still sounding
like a musical note chorus

I see you’re (slowly) getting back into posting again…like me, one here, one there. Your poem has a melancholy feeling about it somehow. I like how you brought the rain into play…mimicking the looking glass.
If I don’t get back here before Christmas, know that I wish you a happy and relaxed time with friends and family. Hugs…
