Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Through the Gap

Through the gap between the closed drapes
A maid peers in a daze
An ashtray upon the table
Held her undiffused gaze

Clearly there was bright red lipstick
Circles upon some butts
A golden earring lies close by
Lying cheat drives her nuts

The fog lifted revealing all 
Airline ticket back home
A scoundrel, cheater, liar, creep
In the night he does roam

A teardrop fell upon the floor
As the click opened lock  
He slept peacefully this last night
Gun shots silenced by the clock

Last chapter typed upon white sheets
The typewriter now still
Headlines plastered across front page
Lovers in motel were killed

Sponsor: Craig Cornish

John Fleming December 6, 2014 at 1:04 PM You could perhaps change the last line to..."Lovers, found slaughtered, in hotel kill!!" :) P.s An old habit of mine. I must change words in some of my poems several times before i am happy with them. john.

John Fleming December 6, 2014 at 12:52 PM Very nicely structured poem. I enjoyed reading this; especially: "He slept peacefully this last night...gun shots silenced by the clock". Excellent!! :) john.
