POEM STARTER

Inspired by Aro

Write a murder mystery poem.

This is not often a theme you see in poetry - how will you use the format and facets of poetry to create a murder mystery?

Sweet May

Crime, mystery & thriller

She lies there, cold and lifeless on the floor, Sweet heart all Bathed in Motley stained glass Light, In Broken pieces to beat Nevermore. Without Body this Heart. Oh! Grisly sight! And pinned by sword of some Deranged mad Knight. Nor far, in River, heartless Maiden found. Sweet May, we will find them. In Peace rest sound.

I really like this poem! Quick question: what led you to capitalize the words you chose? I think that’s a cool idea. I originally thought they were clues and I spent time trying to solve them, but then realized I might be a bit dense as to your meaning :) This is creative for sure!

I’ve been writing stories since I was little. I wrote my first skit when I was 9 and I haven’t quite kicked the habit!
