Sushi
fork-pricked flesh
on the wrong side of pane
a nightmarish smear
of yellow and crimson
the cutting edge shifts
from KP to ER
sushi rolls linger
on the wrong side of pain

My mother had an accident like that (involving an avocado not a lemon). I wish I could have put it so nicely!
Such a dilectable take on the prompt... love the shifts from KP to ER, as sushi rolls linger on the wrong side of pain. Nicely done.
Excellent, interesting twist on the Magpie prompt.
Wrong side of pain - great line Tumblewords.
"From KP to ER." LOL.
Love it.
This is clever...really enjoyed it...and it could happen!!
I have prepared my fair share of sushi ... preparer, beware indeed.
Nice one! I always watch the sushi chefs with awe as they maniacally slice and dice so quickly and make everything look so beautiful. I wonder how many trips to the ER they have before they perfect their art!
Very good - watch out for that sushi!
I like your use of pane/pain. Well done.
oh ..n i c e!
kp to er....very good
The only thing more violent is hot oil. Another reason I never fry anything.
haha! you're making me cringe at the thought of it all...
You are so clever. Such a treat. I bow to you :D
Ouch! Love your use of pane/pain and KP to ER. Reminds me of an incident when I worked in a fast food Chinese diner. It was indeed nightmarish.
Really clever take on the prompt!
accident-prone? your words always provoke some usual thoughts.
it's nice to visit here again.
Glad I'm not that Sushi Chef!
Here's mine:

Accident prone that is what happens to me in the kitchen!! Very nicely done for the prompt!!
Ouch!!
KP to ER, neat little move.
Ouch... love KP to ER.
Loved the pane/pain play on words here.
Many a cook winds up in the ER...maybe that is why I avoid it....perfect words...bkm
I like the word play - very neat:-)
So clever as always. I can learn from you.
I prefer watching the chefs than eating the Sushi in real life I recently sat directly opposite one as he did his 'thing'. I'm still alive!
OUCH!! Such "incidents" happen when my dearest is around.. they happen with HIM ofcourse :) I just hang around to tidy up the "mess" :)
Anyway, all the sushi talk is making me hungry now.. :)
Enjoyed your creative take on the prompt... short, but very effective!
Wow⁄ I guess I should have expected...it snuck up on me.
I should have expected it, but it snuck up on me.
Oh I ended up at the er with accident however it was the avocado that took me out.
I once sliced the top of my finger off, so this one is appreciated on several levels! Great wordplay. Thanks!
