A scary poem for Duff’s writing challenge #14.

I gazed into the broken mirror,

and who do you suppose I saw?

It was the face of my #1 enemy,

standing right behind me in the hall.

I could see his evil smirking grin,

icy chills coursed down my spine.

I must not let him capture me,

for on my flesh he’d surely dine.

We used to be the best of friends,

until the zombie attack one night.

He changed into a terrifying creature,

because he could not win the fight.

I thought it would end with the enemy being his own reflection.

We are usually our own worst enemy. Sad when our worst enemy used to be our friend. Looks like you may have to put your friend out of his zombie-like misery.

I like the way you express the ideas in your poem. I agree with ashan1614 though that we are our own worst enemy. This poem can apply to people too who are conquered with ugly emotions like depression, bitterness, hatred, revenge etc. Well written. Thanks for sharing.

we are our own worst enemies but also outward enemies are our teachers.Hold your friends close but hold your enemies closer.

Well done, and indeed it made me think of some movies where you see an attacker or such appear in the mirror behind – creepy indeed. It would be terrifying in real life for sure. Thanks for playing dude.
