Poem Title:
Poem
A place of long ago Was torn by one man Who left behind a letter "I leave roses in the sand" One girl went missing Blood and nothing more Leading to a single rose Right next to the shore The townspeople frightened Anyone could be next Locked behind their doors They feared their town was hexed Things remained normal Until a drury night When a young woman was murdered And left in plain sight A single knife wound By the killers' hand With a note attached One more rose in the sand Together people mourned As they asked for a reason This became known as The death of a season Nobody after dark Was allowed to roam the street Every morning in the church The whole town would meet A group was formed To find this elusive man Who killed these young women And left roses in the sand No luck as they searched No clues left behind No one with answers But still on everybodys' mind A few weeks past The people felt some peace Not in terror anymore For the notes had deceased But as the town stood tall One person would soon fall And through the depths the killer would finally crawl A note found on a merchants' door Read "It's time for one more" "Watch closely for my demand Or one more rose in the sand" Scared by the threat He tried to do his best So nothing more would happen By the mans' request When out of the blue Came the first clue A white piece of cloth Noticed by a few Initialed were two letters Stitched with E and S They had to find a match No longer would they guess When looking at the list of people In the town Only one name matched They could bring this person down For it was no man It was a young female Named Elizabeth Smith Who lived near the dell Soon taken to jail She was then asked why Blank with no emotions She never did reply But found in her home Were three notes that said "Roses are like blood The two of them are red" "I am calling for a ransom or three more will be dead" "I am asking for the sum of of just ten grand If you do not pay three more roses in the sand"
