A strange man

[aerickson]

I saw the strangest man today.
Though very young, his hair was gray.
Wrinkles danced all over his face - I would do that short version of "over" fits better with your meter
his clumsy footsteps lacked all grace. - lacked "in" grace - makes the line flow better

He muttered and cursed like it was rehearsed, - "as though rehearsed" - flows better and fits your meter better too
his belt was tight and his speech was terse.
His awful aura filled the room
and left me with a sense of gloom.

I knew his ugliness could not be cured - say "looks" instead of ugliness - it makes your meter work better and we already get the idea that he looks weird
and he always quivered in a state of fear,
but he spoke like he was some kind of seer.
Then I realized I was looking in a mirror.- cool ending. I love it

Nice meter, the poem flowed pretty well except for a few spots. I liked the twist in the last line. I wasn't expecting that.
