Under the Radar

Beneath the dark blue veil
Of a moonless midnight
Under the radar
Without a bleep

A camouflaged whisper
Mystifies and mortifies
In a most roundabout
Conniving way

A shiver shudders
A murderous mystery
Not leaving a hint or clue

Kind of creepy my friend. Paints a scene of a misty eve filled with shadows and sounds that make the pulse race. Nicely done Line

Nothing greater then getting involved in a murder mystery as long as your the one reading about it, of course. Nice poem dear friend, sending you health wishes, xo

The setting's picture penned perfectly, Line. I can hear the whisper, feel the shudder, and now the goosebumps on my arms stand as testimony to your craftmanship. Bravo, Gershon
