Poem for Weekly Writing Challenge - Week 1

The challenge was to write a poem of 40 lines or less with 'Brutality' as the theme.

I decided to go about this a slightly different way rather than writing a dark poem. Please let me know what you think!

Honesty

Waiting. Anticipation.
Eyes pinned to spoon, mouth.
Quiet but for the chewing and swallowing.
No thought process visible on face.
Nothing. Blank.

Impatience. A question.
Umming and ahhing now.
The same question repeated but louder.
How does it taste?
An answer. Brutal.
Honest.

    I really like the unusual angle you're writing from here. It keeps the reader on their toes for sure. Great stuff. :)
