POEM STARTER

Writings

A Whodunnit?

Laid out on the library floor

Blood dripping from out the door

The Maid was aghast

The Captain acted fast

As he phoned the police

Straight away.


The Vicar was struck

With an hefty iron hook

With a bloody mark on his face

A chalky mark drawn round

His resting place

The police set to their job

Despite the angry village mob


The detective was afoot

Walking in with his mutt

Sniffing here and ther...

Echoes Of A Conspiracy

In the quiet town where shadows creep,

Lies a secret buried deep.

Whispers in the darkened street,

Speak of a tale incomplete.


The clock struck twelve, the night was still,

A figure moved with silent skill.

In the old mansion, cold and grand,

A sinister plan was close at hand.


The chandelier swung with a ghostly sway,

As footsteps echoed and then went away.

Two screams cut throug...

It’s Mind

I fantasize about you.


About raising the axe.


It brings a tear to my eye.


I remember packing you up and taking you to Harry’s.


I see you walking to me, to me and only me.


I visited Harry’s to paint the walls white,

But it already was.


It was all clean.


Just like that, and you know how hard I’ve tried to cleanse my mind?...

The Questioning

[So I plan on making a little series based of the little narrative I made titled {It Was Me?} this the 2nd part I’m making of it, I hope you enjoy. Also this will not be a poem sorry but I struggle with making poems well at least more than with narratives]

Nobody Will Know

Bang bang!

Red within my eyes,

Like a deep rose petals.

I can’t feel anything.

I can’t see anything.

I can’t hear anything.

Blood dripping down my head.


Nobody will know,

Nobody will know.

The moment you’re gone,

People will wonder

Who could’ve done this to you.

Yet, they would set glory,

To those who found out.


Only I will know,

The second before you die.

Only I will know.

The second shot fir...

"Ladies and...one gentleman..." the guy over the intercom cleared his throat. "I would like you all to join together in the main hall please."


As everyone began cautiously making their way there, unsure of who they could still trust, the man continued.


"As you may know, under very unfortunate circumstances, Ken, Aji, Iam, and Tin have been killed and eliminated."

Now rake those

Down my spine;

Taste every inch

Murder Mystery

Laid on the floor with your letters spread

It embraces me with pain

That vain caused a scene


One we can’t revise

One that’s my demise

One is what I’m left with

Split into two

A mystery that murdered me

It’s love can’t be reconvened

It’s end, is my end


Laid on the floor I leave my murder mystery

Why didn’t you love me

It can’t be recovered

I leave you with this

Why is love a mystery
