There are eyes like that - they mesmerize - you can't seem to take your eyes away from that horrible gaze. I try to avoid all contact with person who have those eyes. They do scare.
good poem

A very well-written thirteen word horror poem. There are some people who are really evil but they hide it very well, except their eyes that cannot hide the evil soul within.

A little piece of free verse with an ingenious twist in the tail. the word 'permeated' is very well-chosen. The idea that evil can 'permeate', seep through gradually till it takes over totally is exactly right for the theme of horror this poem describes. And then the volte face this is not someone come to murder the poet but the poet come to...

You have made excellent use of your thirteen words to create a monster looking at the monster in the mirror--and knowing what he is. This is quite chilling--like those eyes in the picture!

Damn! Yep, this is very creepy. Pretty much nailed the contest challenge. There's evil dripping down my laptop screen just from looking at this. Killer concept delivered with a stunning presentation. Font color an excellent choice here. Your message is crystal clear. Evil reflects evil. Loved the art!! This rocked, poet. Well done. Lynda

This is pretty spooky, especially since the murderous eyes are being reflected back from a mirror. That deepens the torment even more. Excellent character development in such a short story.
Best of luck in the contest. I would think you would do well with this selection.

Wow! The twist surprised me. This is a spine chilling write. True that eyes reveal our emotions and, in this case, they truly were windows into the soul.

Good luck in the contest.

Blessings Julia
