This work has reached the exceptional level

Truly this is an exceptional poem. There is so much implied with so little words. Bravissimo. The photo of the sinister eye complements the poem. I appreciate your creativity.

I can see why you won the contest with your dramatic description and presentation. I relished the final line (and actually posted a poem on the theme). The picture you selected is mesmerizing. Kudos- Joan

The line breaks and use of space adds to the eeriness of the poem's theme. The person murderer looking in the mirror knowing he/she
looks different now. The eye in the artwork almost looks like a wild animal's eye.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Keep writing
Joan

This is a chilling post of horror. May I never see in the mirror anything that resembles evil eyes. Good luck in the contest.

Spooky indeed when the killer realizes it is none other than him or herself who is the evil one. Denial can be such a powerful force.

Excellent entry into the contest, Ron and best of luck to you with the Contest Committee. :)

This is delightfully disturbing. The photo definitely incited a reaction. Internal rhyme of 'eyes' and "Lies" is great. This would be a compelling beginning to a longer work, too! Great entry.
