The dagger was thrown
with the skill and accuracy
of years of practice
and a finely honed talent.
The edge glint
in the sun light
as it neared its target.
A deadly steel
that could rend flesh
so easily if it hit is mark
as the thrower
had envisioned.
If only looks could really kill.

Great 55. If looks could kill, we'd all be dead in jail.
Death and mayhem in my 55 HERE.
That is a GREAT picture! I love all the misses in the background...yikes. Excellent 55 filled with suspense!
*ps: It was a coincident :o)
I'll say that was not just a glance.
Great words to accompany the pic. And it's quite a picture.
Oh my God you just wrote a story about my grandmother.
I read it twice over; I LOVED IT!
Oh yeah....I've been the recipient of many a Icy Stare in my lifetime.

Loved everything about this 55. Quite clever.

I agree with the above comments. I, too, loved the last line. And, I liked how it can be intrepreted in different ways. I like when art - whether it be words or a drawing - can mean different things to different people. Glad I came to look at yours. Well worth it!
reminds me of my Father I remember him throwing knives when I was a young boy when he told me to stand against the plywood I always said no ..
sure glad I did ... Nice 55 you'll find mine below..

That was really nice. I pretty much feel like that guy in the picture at any given moment...;)
mmmmm, you're not gonna get me to stand there, no matter the skill of the thrower... nicely done!
Thanks for stopping by my playground. I appreciate it. Great 55. Shoot...if looks could kill I'd be dead LOL Have a great weekend :)
Oh I know what it is like to be slain with a glance.
And I wonder how many of us would be dropping like flies if looks could kill?
As usual, yours is always a fun and spirited 55. Have a great weekend!
Well... this is thrilling, magnificent. At the very edge!
Great 55 Monkey Man
