Clever. I like it.
Wonderful echoes of intertextuality - Macbeth and malice resonate here! Well chosen words to create your own piece.
Lovely :)
Each line is like a dynamic sliver of descriptive drama! Beautiful!
every word counts.
you rock.
The poisoned chalice indeed! I thought every word of this was perfect. vb

Cool - really dig this one TW.
Murder by wine! :)
This says so much, with so few words..love it !!
This is simply, and deviously, perfect for the "mood" of the photo. Words and visual are just perfect together!!
Love it!

One has to be careful when sipping wine at certain dinner parties...hehe :)
I loved this - especially the zinger at the end!
Great writing!
physics of it all

Dangerous....errr.. poisonous plot!

I'll take canny sips from my next glass.....!
Hadn't considered that half glass of red wine as ominous .. you made it so!
A mysterious twist on this one... leading for so much more.
I don't think I want to sip this wine. A very good write.
seductive poison... loved that!!
Succinct. Very nice. love the fractal too.
oooh! great senryu! i wonder who's being poisoned and why?
Loved it! The tension that builds... "Something's rotten in the State of Denmark." Great magpie! xxox
Ouch! Brilliant take. Malice aforethought, indeed.
Very nice. And very noir.
Dirty work afoot...
very dark and tempting....great magpie!
Love this! Perfect, wish I'd written it (said in a non-jealous, amiable way); one of my favorite reads today (I've read about seventy-five pieces) - i.e., you're one of three favorite reads today.
Thanks for posting this!:)
I like it. I do so love coming to read your works.
