If you don\'t know how to exquisitely render what all know too painfully well, I don\'t know what you know to do. Gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and a tantalizing poignancy, I\'m only deciding on where, precisely, this is to be hung.

Yikes! I shrink from the dire implications saucily winking herein at me of a sudden. Methinks I\'ll leave the final assessment alone, as it were, for the moment. Expertly rendered with perfect imagery and a haunting, damning poignancy flirting about it. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Don\'t mind the pun, but this poem had an impactful ending. 🤣 Truth be told, I absolutely love this Neville. It is written as if you are watching or experiencing the fall. For both form and content, this gets a fave! Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

Good write N. Did KP fall or was she pushed? Pushed off the cliff, of course - by me, the naughty rodent! heehee.

Did she fall, or was she pushed? A burning question which must have been asked many times in many different cases! A lovely open-ended poem, Neville! Plenty of room for the reader to ponder and postulate! Well penned, my friend!

This short poem encapsulates so much in an instant just like the fall. Taken literally it starts abruptly there is a brief flash of her trying to reroute herself evoking images of desperation and change of heart. The idea of suicide introduced but quickly dismissed the only other possible solution accidental fall or murder being pushed. In metaphor I could go on and on. Loved it

Oozes and breathes Holocaust, cloying toxic asphyxiation; almost like human sacrifice were it not mass genocidal murder.

Can\'t go near it, I\'m afraid, Mate. Came at me at exactly the wrong time in my childhood and stayed for years...
Glad you put it out there now, though..

This poem hits hard and it needs to. A reminder on what we are told never again. And yet I fear and fear very much, it could happen again. Sadly history is horrific and lessons are often not learned and history has a way of repeating itself. A tough read Neville.

A poignant write N. If it is as PL says, we have to agree that the death penalty was only fair for such unspeakable monsters, e.g. the 1946 trials. A bit ghoulish, but there are photos of them online - to prove they are dead, I suppose.

Neville this poem is darker than burnt bread. Ashes to ashes dust to dust but emotions don\'t burn. A difficult read and speaks in metaphor and the literal to to many decedents of the past and gives warning to present generations to change our diet. Lovely Neville

If this is what i think it refers to, it is incredibly sad , emotional and something very close to me, the most horrific time in modern history, I applaud you for writing this as it should never be forgotten,

I give up on figuring out this tidy little riddle against some leading character in a drama and state which owns presidents, fascinated by your rendering, though. Tendered beautifully with excellent imagery and a keenly haunting poignancy, thank you for sharing.

Cheeky Missy said:
Well, well, lemme see whether I understood correctly... weary with all the miniature howling, the wind proved a veritable friend and took you off elsewhere, eh? After that, what with the notice of an alibi added to the fray, I\'m uncertain how to think, you rascal you. Gorgeously rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and an eerily haunting poignancy, we thanks thee very much for sharing, left to chew on it all like some piece of leather.

Years ago I had hero leaders that I admired. Washington, Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, on and on but as I got to know the lives of each I found a balance just as bad as the good. Now I wonder if somehow in the murderer\'s and rapists I have known if there is something as good that balances that bad. Time will tell. I worry about a rash and impulsive man with too much power. It has happened before with bad consequences for many. I hope that history will tell us something different than what the present seems.
