One More Open Verdict For the Road

One More Open Verdict For the Road

 

She came out of the sky like

a rocket

and for a moment, or maybe

not quite

that long, he thought she was

trying to

re-route herself, from some

kind of crazy

  

kamikaze dive or something ..

But then,

how wrong could he possibly

be and how

far from the truth .. she could

not fly at all

could she, and on reflection,

it seems that

   

she either fell, or she was pushed ..

Whether literal or metaphorical this poem left me shaken and wanting more in hope to assuage my discomfort. But powerful writing should always strive for that in order to rouse the imagination of the reader. Like Beren I read it a few times and found myself in both hopeful or disturbed. Great work Neville.

Many of my finest thank you's are now heading your way Carlos .. Neville

I like the format being like a straight line of fall. The alternate larger and smaller lines seem almost like flailing arms. The fall indeed jumped or pushed. A flash or snapshot in time leaving the cause unknown. Loved it

Thanks a million Soren .. Neville 👍

Wow. This is a very interesting poem sir, words are chosen deeply.
“he thought she was trying to re-route herself” this is a great line, and the rest leaves a taste.
Metaphors and your imagination is wild. I really love this one. I read this for the fifth times(is it times or time) but, still keeps my veins dry.

“she either fell, or she was pushed“ unanswered. Did the job terrific.
This is on my top 5 of your poems
