Defining Still Poem, by Neville, at My poetic side

Defining Still

as patient and still

as the dark

shadows each cast

beneath the arc,

span and the reach

of outspread

sun bitterns wings ..

so perfectly

poised for the kill

and far more

patient, than any

would be

rooftop assassins

perched

up high, on some

invisible ledge

behind an invisible

screen ..

each posed with

their back to the sun

on a double

time killing spree day ..

Dark shadows lay in this write. It is ominous and foreboding. Is it personal or sociopolitical reflecting the time of day we are in. I shudder. Nicely written my friend
