I love the feelings this poem evokes. The music that the reader can imagine, soft and nostalgic, like a French ballad. The woman, sad and melancholic. The imagery is beautiful. You do have a gift for painting a scene with words. :)

Deep in the recesses of my mind, this conjured up images of past sadness as your heroine dances in an upper apartment in France, lost in music and lost promises. You can see her in black and white, listening to Edith Piaf on the radio. Magical writing. Peter

You imagery always is so vivid, cinematic. Here, we have the first scene, rain on the cobblestones. We cut to the second, Madame in her apartment, looking through the streaked glass, and then taking the broom and dancing with it.

So soft, so melancholic; felt myself drift in the moment... as always, so beautifully expressed.

This conjures an image simple, sad, and beautiful.

In a strange way I suppose I was reminded of how many musicians were inspired to write music based on poems - Mendelssohn by Goethe as just one example - and how your poems so often contain music, are musical in and of themselves, and are their own songs.
