Victor Buhagiar Poet Free verse

Revenge

Murder most foul.
All were shocked at the news.
Two vile daggers 
pierced their broad chests.
All done quickly.

Jealous husband
would not forget.
Both struck:
blood seeped.

Sirens blared out.
One was saved from death.
It was me.

Sara Kendrick April 6, 2026 at 5:44 AM Revenge is not a good thing nor is killing a human being because of the feelings that brought it to the point of a fight. Great expressive work in this short one. It grabbed my attention. Way to go. We hear of such so much on the news today. Sara K
