Sad Dizain
So sweet was Hope. Not one soul would she harm.
And now in college, living on her own,
she’d met a young man with good looks and charm.
One night she failed to answer her cell phone.
Was she with somebody or all alone?
The guy she’d met called friends and made a plan
to search for her. For days they all would fan
out through the woods and city. Where was Hope?
Police could find no clues; meanwhile the man
cleaned out his van and trashed his knives and rope.
