fork

Sinister delight! Yes!

Love the form. Perfect comma placement.

oh thank you Dianne :) :) :) i got some anger out writing this too

Very vivid. The fork is always a very strong image. Love it.

yes Erika thank you :) :)

The tiny couplets visually echo the couple and also the table "not quite wide / enough / for two).

IMO, using the word "fork" in the last line only (you'll need another title) will increase the power of the poem.

thank you Bill :) that's something to consider

I like the form. Very effective. Weaves the tension and threat even tighter. Good piece. *

thank you Sam ♥️♥️

Murderous intent unveiled in a small gesture, pretty powerful in so few words.

oh thank you David thanks for reading :) :) :)

Absolutely not the fork in the road! *

hahaha so true :) :)

I feel it *

thank you Emily ♥️ :)
