Cutlass

A Poem by Frieda P
"

Making this one an interactive poem, which ending do you like best, cast your votes! lol Is it door #1 or #2? ;-)

"
You plunged your dagger in so deep
   it had cut me to the core
the blood trickled to your feet
   you said you required nothing more
Dagger ceased to be a useful tool
   once it dulled and spread itself so thin
shiny wore off as it sank its tip into a cesspool 

The moral to this tragic beat
as you can probably guess
tis don't s**t where you eat

                     or


The moral to the story
could be simply learned
Slice and dice is so nice
when the onus has been earned

Wow profound, I love how you circled such intense imagery around the phrase don't s**t where you eat. I pictured the dagger, I pictured the cut so deep, blood trickling down feet..the dagger being used to inflict so much hurt till it's nothing but scrapped dirt and then the different perspectives where the dagger could be heartless stabs of a man ego, etc.. there are many ways to perceive this short marvelous piece and that just proves that it's brilliant writing.

should be "its tip"

but great philosophy here...so true...

once you've abused me enough...there will be nothing left to abuse---

and what goes around comes around.

Thanks Baby, I would have thought you'd go for #1 tbh.
Artwork and words were amazing. Your strong description gave life to the artwork. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

Nice review, thanks so much Coyote!
Well if I get a vote... Neither "ending" helps the write.
I would stop without the "moral of the story".
I liked the poem very much otherwise.
