Through the looking glass...

This poem is a triolet* for a contest that required that type, and the prompt was:

Monthly Poetry Form and Prompt Contest  (18+) Two contests in one!!! A new form of poetry every month. Round 9: The Pleiades #940800 by Bekah Aura

Through the looking glass
A garbled figure lurks.
Incipient growth, molting crass.
Through the looking glass
A consummate effigy begins to amass.
Progress is one of life’s inescapable perks.
Through the looking glass
A garbled figure lurks.
