The Knife and The Chopping Board.

Poem - ATC

Bored she lay there covered in crumbs,
"You're lazy!" He'd yell at her
Grumbling telling her to move, to do something.

She could make him quite blunt sometimes.

"You're so sharp with your words! I've had
enough it's absurd!" He stopped chopping in shock
deterred by the cheesy wooden block.

"Maybe I'm a monster, thirsty for meat but we
use each other you have to admit -
I don't need you."

"Yes you do" Whined the pine, arguing and finally beating
down on the knife that always cut her, always left a mark.
"You're right we use each other without you I'd have no use
whatsoever and without me you'd cause more harm than good.

- But that doesn't make us lovers."

"Well maybe it should."

I liked this, overall. Clever use of personification into the extreme using ordinary everyday items. I enjoyed "She could make him quite blunt sometimes." nice homonyml. I also enjoyed the line "I don't need you " yes you do" Whined the pine......." Great effort

This is a great story. I really enjoyed how it had themes on
so many levels. In some ways they reminded me of an old couple. lol.
There are serious issues that popped into my mind as well,
but the personification was very enjoyable.
