This is one of my shortest poems ever. However I always thought it was really strong. It can mean quite a few things but it screams a little danger to me. I think it is also about confusion, maybe the urge we have to cut ourselves sometimes, or suicide. I think it has an under understanding for all of us. Please comment telling me what you think it means to you and vote. :)

Subtle Knife

Silver Shine

A whispering glint

A sharp fatal edge

A carved wooden handle

In the knife

The whispering Knife

With terrible unwhispered tales

None of which it whispers about

But I hear the one

Unwhispered word

Death!?
