A Shovel Unearths

A brutal murder in portentous chill A helpless life, under butcher's will An ominous spade digs soil in till. Buried in dark secret, an aghast kill. Corpse stenched, languished still. The cops nab smite, in strokes of grill.. Shoveled out of dirt, brown bags fill. The body unearthed, with shovel skill. Scraping in shudders, foreboded ill. A chasm of bare bones, lie dead still Exhumed out promises, none to fulfill. Playing labyrinth of hell, media score bill. Dreams of trepid soul, to ash burn until. Shovel and rake, witness of blood spill Underneath the field..beside a distant hill A lonesome weeps, grave in teared frill. Winter in cold-blood, killed spring of daffodil. 3rd March 2019 SCRAPING OF SHOVELS CONTEST Sponsor John Lawless
