If Looks Could Kill

Neville

If Looks Could Kill

 

that look on his face was

the look of delight

one might well expect from

   a lost man found ..

 whereas the look on hers

was clearly one of

anger, contempt and disgust

one might have

guessed would be found

on the face of a

   woman historically scorned ..

    Ah Neville you have left me with no clue as to who was found and who was scorned. So many fit this profile. Such a contrast portrayed in this, Even a metaphor for poets recognized and those not and even put down. Loved the flow and the contrast as well as word choice.

      Feels like an old master I saw in a gallery somewhere, but cannot recall...
      Clear picture in a few words though.

              This little scenario, played out to me like threesome in a tv play. Husband and wife meet very old friend. He, delighted to see his old mate, her not so. But then maybe it was a reminder of something in the past well hidden from unsuspecting husband. And you know what they say about a woman scorned lol. Hell hath no fury. How are my detective skills doing Neville? Go on, make my day. πŸ˜‚
