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 ..

Or falling in style… as some lovers are gifted with 🙏🏻🕊
............................ wouldn't that be a dive .. 😉👍
Fling must be in the mix somewhere 🤿
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
It seems you got it .. cheers bro .. 😎👍
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!
Many thanks DV .. Neville
A lovely read giving us the reader several scenarios to turn the rusty cogs over, really enjoyed the read
Many thanks PL .. Neville
You are very welcome
Good write N. Did KP fall or was she pushed? Pushed off the cliff, of course - by me, the naughty rodent! heehee.
I imagine she probably jumped ..
Yes, she got tired of my antics. lol.
Tremendous work, my friend.
Thanks Thomas 👍

You're welcome
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! 🌹👏
if you think I'm gonna fall for that one .. you are reading me write .. Cheers Tristan .. Neville
🤣 You are most welcome, friend! 🐦⬛🖤
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.
Cheers Missy .. 😉👍
As I was reading I got the feeling of a veil being lifted from the painting. Then suddenly I was confronted with the question "is it truth what all that we see?"
Bless you my friend .. Neville
