The Inkwell

from inkdrop – poetry, places and events

#writephoto #keep

from atop a hill

among the clouds

the watchmen look across the way

each window pointing a bow and arrow

fear instilled in those wearing the metal hats, for

up on the opposing battlements, another watchman is

looking, with their bow and arrow, waving back at them

    I like the duality of the watchers – they are both the same after all. Nice one.

    I love the shape of the poem, as well as the words.
