OctPoWriMo 2023:Facing Our Fears
Fear of the Bad Guys: Everyone believes they are the hero of their own story, so how do people who do such evil things still believe they are the good guys? For this poem, try to get into the heads of those you see as pure evil. How do they justify their actions? How do they see them as good? Either write your poem as a villain(s) praising all the good they do, OR as someone trying to see the good in everyone talking about a villain.
Seems like a Villanelle goes with villains, but if you already did one on the 4th and don’t want to repeat, this prompt might work well with Compound Word Verse created by Margaret R. Smith.

Today’s image prompt is the creepiest gif I have ever seen. I have no idea who the villain is in this moving monstrosity, but I don’t think it’s the pig. I could be wrong.

Today’s theme led me to a pleasant surprise movie called Villains (assoc. link) available on Amazon Prime video/Freevee. This 2019 Horror/very messed up comedy is all villains all the time with a very interesting casting combo including Bill Skarsgård, Kyra Sedgwick, Jeffrey Donovan, and Maika Monroe.

Villainous Shades
I know better than others how to get things done
I know better than others how to get the thing won
Don’t tell me you don’t want to be a success and do
Don’t tell me you rather be a failure and always blue
It’s all a matter of shades of gray
How to keep the nay-sayers at bay
Saints or those of a more hellish taint
Are often the cause of complaint
Saints hide hypocrises under their sleeves
Their opposites rejoice in being called thieves
It all depends on how far you’re prepared to go
Whether you’d rather be friend or foe
Most I find are a mixture of both
Silly to think that evil’s a separate growth

Nicely done. Those first two couplets really get to the speaker’s mindset.
