A one eyed woman
stared at me
across the crowded
train

She wore all black
had knarled hands
her smile was half
insane

I tried to turn
my eyes away
But that one eye
held me bound

I felt the hair
raise on my neck
Yet I couldn't
turn around

She cackled then
an evil sound
exposing twisted
teeth

She raised one
knarled, weathered
hand
and pointed
right at me

"Here in my bag,
lift up the mirror-
turn it, so you can see"

And as I stared
into the glass
One eye
looked
back at me

I couldn't move,
I couldn't speak
She stood and
limped away

Her cackle
echoed
through the train
and haunts me
still today. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 13 [informant] => freckle [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

I enjoyed this. It's very creative. I also really liked the flow. Excellent work.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
