The challenge for Day 10 is to write “an unlove poem” or a “poem of sarcastic dislike.”  So here goes: 

NARCISSUS

It’s true you quicken heartbeats when you enter rooms.
And every girl around compete’s for you.
The wilting sighs float down the street as you pass by,
And “brilliant” comes to mind at all you do.

Your smile – it’s dazzle quickly melts fair maiden hearts,
Your voice – it has a timbre all its own.
And when you stay away, we girls all miss you so;
That you return to find our love has grown.

But all our smiles and sighs have no effect on you.
And year by year you manage to stay free.
Well, I, for one, know why you never choose a love:
You’re lost in love with what your mirror sees.
