Mirror! Mirror!


MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY

MIRROR! MIRROR!

Mirror, Mirror by the River
Where the ruffled waters quiver,
Aren't you rather oddly based,
In a childrens playground placed?
We view you strangely as we pass;
There isn't even any glass!
We look right through you to the view!
Mirrors are not for looking through!
*
But little children now arrive!
Suddenly you come alive
As they run from side to side;
Hiding where they cannot hide,
Jumping through you, making faces,
Acting tough with rude grimaces;
Primping, prattling and pretending.
Your uses now are never-ending.
Why! I hear a Snow-White call
'Mirror! Mirror! On the wall!'
*
Mirrors reveal even more here:

Refreshing image of mirror, mirror on the river! Love this poem, I shall have to rearead it again.
It is such a pretty yellow frame set against the blue river.

Happy Mellow Yellow Monday!

I think you had as much fun with this 'mirror' as the kids did. Nice find.
