Nuts And Bolts
This is the way things have become.
Testing, pushing, taunting.
The antaganist is watching.
Vigilant I stand on guard.
Waiting for the misery to strike.
Not right.
Words are weapons.
Looks are lethal.
Almost time for me to start stepping.
The aggression grows.
Hate.
Animosity.
Resentment
Blindsided by the intent to be sent
to the chopping block.
Tic Toc.
Like a flash, I strike quick.
Silent but deadly is my ammunition.

Hello to you...
I like your piece. For being new at this, you posted a very nice poem! I'm going to surmise that this is not the first thing that you have written. But I get that this may be the first time that you have submitted anything to a poetry site. As Candlewitch has said, we are a family of poets that post and critique each other's work. Some of us have been here the better part of our writing lives, some are newbies and some in-betweeners. One thing that most all of us have in common, is that we wish to become better poets. Through writing for our contests, and random challenges and the occasional workshops, we feel that the critique and comments help to do that. Feel free to check out the different places here on the site and enjoy. If you have any questions, use the messaging to get in touch with me. ~ Geezer.

Assassin
14,
This sits nicely as a quiet, unassuming but deadly assassin just waiting for the moment to turn from the individual lost in the crowd to the perfect silent but deadly operative.
I'm probably wrong with my thoughts but it works on this level for me so I'm happy.
Welcome to Neopoet.
regards
