Kitchen Secrets

Whenever the humans turn off the lights,

lock the door, drive away,

all the friends of the kitchen

come out to play.

They dance and twirl night after night,

the pepper grinder shaking a beat,

the spatulas do gymnastics

as the utensils pop out of their drawer seat.

But not all is fun and laughter,

the cabinets hold deadly secrets,

if you ask, no one shall tell,

especially the still-emotional cookie sheets.

But if you go to the butcher knife,

he's the one that knows it all,

and he can tell you of the time

that the fork took a final fall.

Fork and Spoon were a merry couple,

wedded in front of the dinner gong.

Everyone said that their marriage was meant to last,

but they really couldn't be more wrong.

Unfortunately, love soon turned to abuse

and Spoon was never allowed out of her drawer.

Oregano was worried about her dear friend,

but she was lost in a mysterious murder.

The murderer was none other than Butch himself,

highered by Fork, his right hand man.

No one knew of the secretive death,

except for the leading baking pan.

She ran to Spoon when Fork was at work

and managed to let her out,

but the butcher knife was still at work

and the pan was killed without a doubt.

Spoon's last hope was Dish,

his own tricks tucked into glass,

security guard Butch the Knife

was asleep when Dish got past.

So in the middle of a kitchen party night,

under the light of the full moon,

an abusive relationship was laid to rest

when the dish ran away with the spoon.

The butcher knife knew it all was injustice

and soon turned his wrong to right,

he found that filthy scum-bag Fork,

and the last murder was committed that night.

But Butch had scars upon his consience

and he laid his head to cry,

but after his story was spread by the blender,

the cooking ware forgave the poor guy.

The kitchen swore to secrecy

and hoped for the best for Dish and Spoon,

praying that they could come out of hiding

and return to their nightly parties soon.

So when the humans return, all goes away,

the stove keeps the knowledge burning inside,

the crock pot refrains from bubbling it over,

and in no one does the bowl confide.

Back to artificial parties and fun,

rainbow cake sprinkles flying as confetti,

only Butch has corageous guts

to tell the newcomers his horrible story.

So be cautious of your Silverware,

you never know when they might turn,

just don't worry about anything

because only with your kitchen does this concern.

    WOW!!!!!

    This is splendid
    A pure pleasure to read from beginning to end.
    Your delightful imagination exploded from the pages and painted a great story in my mind. You brought kitchen utensils to life so well and created a delightful poem [story]{Fantasy]!
    I loved the entire poem. Not too long at all, I was hooked from the start.

    I gave this contest my best shot as well with my entry, but I see a shiny Gold Trophy here.
    Fantastic imagination and I agree with Melody 100% and I write for many of her contests. I love the fun contests she brings forth and brings the best from the poets as well

    You don't need this but good luck in the contest.
    I'm sure a shiny is comming your way. I'm in awe in the talent behind this amazing write.
    Many blessings

    I am stunned by my admiration for this poem and your obvious gift of writing poetry!

    WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! This poem should be one of many such poems, all in a book of kitchen poetry! Seriously, I am telling you right from my heart and brain, if you can write more of this, you should do it and find a poetry agent or publisher. Books of poetry are hard to get published, aye, but a book of specific subject poetry is another thing. Since kitchens and cooking are so BIG in people's lives, this sort of poem would be appealing to a large segment of our society. OH you smarty pants poet, you!

      I think this kitchen write was kind of a one-time only thing. I don't know if I could be inspired for more. I definately want to get my writing published, though!
