my murderer was long gone I had felt his dissatisfaction upon his departure Knew I had died too soon to please him there would be other victims the snowy months were the best, soothing me a bit, for when the ground was hard I felt at piece, knowing he would not be bringing any new victims They were all young like me, unrested, afraid, at first The snow usually settled them down a bit, we communicated with each other, I felt happy I was no longer alone. There were six of us now.

Caren, Wonder what a numerologist would think of this six. What a telling tale in this 'whodunnit' poem akin to Agatha Christie's works. 'There Were Six of Us Now' is certainly a thought-proving write. -Richard
