I love this.

it came as a shock -
but i've seen stranger;
where i read caution,
you saw danger.

Judging Comment:

I'm absolutely entranced by this piece; I've read it numerous times - it's a short narrative but it works really well. The title foreshadows the plot (and I think it's an excellent title at that). This piece was written about someone that the speaker thought was just like them, but came to the sudden realization that they are not alike. Whether or not, the subject of the poem is known to the speaker or not still remains a bit of mystery to me, there are some verses that suggest so, and other verses that suggests otherwise. This little obfuscated detail works really well since it draws in the reader until they come to the ending stanza and is hit with the same realization the speaker was hit with.
