This is really clever. Extremely horrible and gruesome, but unbelievably clever nevertheless. I enjoyed it very much, and wish you good luck in the contest (and no, there's no way I am ever coming to visit your kitchen. kay

This is a "punny" stated entry into the 4-8-4 poetry contest. The text is a great size. The message is clearly stated and easily understood if one likes and gets puns. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

Wonderful entry for the 4-8-4 writing prompt contest.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.

It's pretty funny... (*=*)

I love the imagery and presentation.

Good luck in the contest.

It is a very cute poem. The red spoon is a nice touch. Would have liked to see it dripping blood and maybe covered in a black cape. I liked the Take-a-life Knife, but would have changed it to Get-a-life knife.

Good luck on the contest.

What an interesting take on this implement, the thought of a common kitchen utensil as being an aid to murder is quite definitely, both innovative and original well done, good luck, blessings Roy

I'm not sure what you are saying in this poem, but could it mean knife symbolism implies that you can become a great person by taking control of your steps and making the right decisions now.

    It is easy to think the dark side in this poem.

This is a chilling write and when I saw the picture I had an idea that this would be a murderous horror write, a bloody scene indeed, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Excellent word play which creates an interesting visual. I was drawn in by the creative title--again a great play on words--which made me wonder what could be attached to it.

Best of luck in the contest.
