The Haunted Mirror 🪞 Poem by Harshini Priyaa

Yesterday night 🌃, I was alone at home
So, I needed to sleep lonesome. 🛌
I have a habit of early sleep
Still, I waited for my parents 👫 to come home.

I heard a man in the store room giving a pitch
I thought, behind the mirror was a witch
But, there was neither a witch nor a man
Suddenly a sound emerged of a fallen can. 😳

I took a breath and went to my room
I looked back and got astonished
To my surprise, the mirror followed me
And it was hanging on the door! 🚪

I saw myself in it, but behind me was a man.
When I looked back, no one was there. 😵
I turned again slowly and frighteningly,
And the mirror was no long showing the man!

I tried to open the door, quietly,
As the mirror has eyes 👀 and ears 👂.
I succeeded and went out of the room.
And gave a deep sigh to retire on the couch.

It was exactly 10 PM. 🕙
And, I heard an alarming bell from the door.
I hope that it shouldn't be,
Anything more frightening. 😱

I went slowly and opened the door carefully,
To my surprise, Thank God, It was my parents.
I became calm and gave a gentle smile.
So, I went to the bed. 🙂

But the horror mirror vanished and it still remained a mystery to me. ⁉️
How can a soulless thing move? 🤔
I realized that, I have fell to insomnia... 😪
