He looked across the train, He blinked his eyes in disbelief. He saw himself standing ten feet away, The man looked like him in every way.

She could not believe the face she saw, The person was an exact duplicate of her. Sue was struck by the amazing similarity, She wondered if her double had the same personality.

It was a day when the doppelgangers, Stepped into our world to play. Would they take our places here? Have they come to permanently stay?

A doppelganger is like a twin, An exact duplicate of us in every way. Have you seen and met your double recently? They are a lot more dangerous than you can ever be?

Are you feeling a bit reckless today, Do you want to live dangerously? Is it you or are you the dangerous double, Out to cause mischief and create big trouble?

Poet’s Note: This poem has been inspired by a person I saw this evening in the train who looked exactly like me. I then remembered that my parents saw my double pass them by on the street several years ago, when I was a teenager. I was at home at the time and they were returning home after a cinema show.
