Hercule Poirot
Unravels psychology behind the crimes of tomorrow.
He minces. He sits. He analytically thinks
With his waxed mustache hovering over green drinks.

Andrea Dietrich January 13, 2026 at 2:29 PM I had to check the pronunciation of Poirot but indeed, it ends with the OW sound of tomorrow. Great job. Congratulation. I loved the humor in the last line. Natasha L Scragg January 16, 2026 at 12:53 AM :-D thanks Andrea. Its a difficult form to capture the feeling in just four lines. So pleased it was fitting for the contest. Xx warm wishes

Paula Goldsmith January 7, 2026 at 1:35 PM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Hercule Poirot" write. Did he ever get his  green drinks in his waxed mustache??? Hahahaha!!! "Good Luck" I did "David Davy Crockett." Have a fun day writing away.......... Natasha L Scragg January 8, 2026 at 4:17 AM He was always very careful about his mustache lol. Thanks Paula. I find this form difficult I kind of have to build to feeling in my poetry so to get it in just four lines is very hard. But I'm glad you saw the humour in it xxx all the best:-)
