"The Looking Glass"(by Joe DiMino)
There was a time I knew you--
it was very long ago;
and the looking glass
though dim somewhat
retains familiar glow--
Here not the body
of the poem
composed I once to fame--
while yet the writing
smudged somewhat
retains a clear refrain:
Sometimes success, more times failure,
the race no less divine--
the image bare, the portrait done,
I'll shatter when I sign....
