Paula Swanson Poet Tail-rhyme

Murder Sets the Stage

Paula Swanson

An open book of mystery,
invites me in alluringly.
Time to turn the page.
Following as the plot thickens,
this is where my heartbeat quickens.
Murder sets the stage.

Andrea Dietrich August 5, 2011 at 9:20 PM this is great. Reminds me of this new thing going on in Provo. A mystery theater where the diners will watch a mystery unfold as they eat their dinner. I sure wish I could see it for my anniversary this week but JOe will be working. Congrats on your win.
