Murdered

Oh, frightful word scribed at the end
The finger-painting mannequin
Composed a message to his love,
From ink he’d made of his own blood!

Short Shrift Execution

You're ill dressed,
I must confess.
For your date with destiny.
I hope your grime,
was worth the time,
you'll spend with me.

Maybe It Was

How was your coffee, SWEETHEART?

Hmm? A bit bitter,

you say?

Well, you know,

it could have been

the Splenda...

Or, maybe it was

the CYANIDE???

Premium Member -Never Will I Unsee

I simply did not understand 

It was completely out of my hand 

Looking in from the outside 

Eyes and mouth open wide 

Never will l unsee

Etched in my mind eternally

    Raking in yet another pot
       the enigma had won an awful lot 

    Then a premature bid to leave
       served him right in the temple

The Forest of Fog

The forest of fog contains those who've lost their minds
The one's who've written their stories
Who've run out of lines
To make one's bed there is to make one's demise
But one day, lying there, will be you and I

Premium Member Reincarnated Blue Tulip--

The blue tulip has died- -
Jaunty jealousy
a blue murder mystery
something has dried up?
It’s not done this way
after the burial done
coming back as a flower?

Premium Member I Am a Super Sleuth At Night

TV people take up oodles of my time.
They turn me into a police officer,
A detective,
And a forensic genius.
I solve murders, and mysteries
And save gobs of people every night,
Luckily I can do it from my recliner
With my dog snoring away next to me

Monster

• Open a fridge door and see • The monster I grew up to be • Joe from next door is in parts • He disappeared the night I was playing darts • Frozen in place from shock? • I'll push you off the dock • Peep at me through the window? • I'll turn your wife into a widow

In the Dark

Walking alone in the dark
All is silent
Until theres a snap of a twig
Hands come from behind
Holding my neck
I try to scream
Noone Hears
The hands grow tighter
I give up fighting
I take a final breath
He lays me in the bushes
My body cold and still
Noone knows who did it
They probly never will

Lindsey

Lindsey, Lindsey, Lady Spy
Are you ready for the next thriller?
Can you pin down this horse fly?
Lindsey, Lindsey, princess chiller
Found no clues, no motives,no reason why
Lindsey, Lindsey, community pillar
But you're the reason that we die,
Lindsey, Lindsey, perp driller
Have you been sleeping with a killer?

Premium Member The Wednesday Club

Seven savvy sirens
formed a formidable fraternity
of pure-passion purpose
for female fatales.

Murder-minded maids
promised patient pursuit
of tattered, tortured truth
while warily watching
crafty crook’s clever con.

But, bested and busted,
dames drink dark despair
like lambs laid lame
in trickster's tensile trap.

Premium Member I'M Fine--Really

Have I ever told you that I have boisterous brawls with
myself over what type of tv show to watch—Greek myth,
nature, comedy, murder mystery, Covid documentary,
or science? We can never agree. So I end up writing poetry
about how this isolation is good for us—I mean ME!

Murder Mystery

Yesterday night
The power had gone
When the time is eight
I was alone

Suddenly i became very fear
So i called my wife
Because an unexpectable noise has been kept on hear
When a stranger arrived with his knife

He snatched my things
And used his weapon
To cease her valuable rings
Then killed my wife and went on

Still i dont know why
I have let my wife to die ?

The lighting, it was over bright Revealing dark red blood puddled She lay slumped, her soul in flight The lighting, it was over bright Exposing a play she did write Letters of a name befuddled The lighting, it was over bright Revealing dark red blood puddled

Clueless

From beyond the grave, I scoff

I've earned my place in history.

Such wicked deeds I carried off,

Yet still remain a mystery.

My hunting grounds were alleyways

Where I spent productive nights,

Plying my trade, my art, my skills,

Murder, and it's dark delights.

Never were you close to me,

Not a sign nor track.

You had no clue who I was,

So you all just called me Jack.

Thrice a Widow

She's thrice now had a scarlet groom
Adorned in silk this dusty room
	She sobbed away sorrows in black
	When she discovered the knapsack
	In gold and pearls, did sorely lack
	And her head and palm greeted, smack!
	Like his body met the floor, thwack!
	The house empty, less her they track
Hardened heart, hollowed like a tomb
Was it lover's spat or planned doom?

Premium Member The Strangler Untold

This is my story, the strangler untold.
I, Al DeSalvo strangled 13 women totaled.
I struck within the night of day,
leaving not one clue astray.
Confessing to these crimes brought me fame,
but burdened my family with unending shame.
Sitting in my prison cell,
deep inside I hide a secret only I can tell.
People everywhere still have doubt.
Is the strangler really in prison, or still roaming about?
Murdered in my prison cell,
my secret I can now never tell.

Premium Member In the Moment

The plot thickens in a whodunit thriller
 As I try to figure out who's the killer
 Which character will be on the hook
 As I turn the pages of my book

 Each page turned unravels the mystery
 Some of the suspects are getting jittery
 Was it the butler of whom they were afraid
 Or was it the beautiful buxom maid
 I'm on the last chapter, but it's still not clear
 But I'm in the moment, it's as if I'm there!

Premium Member Murder Be Kind

MURDER BE KIND

Murder be kind
Kind as a mistress
Intense as a fan
Doting as a bride
Flamboyant as a flamingo
Prodding as a detective
Wishy-washy as a drunk

Standing over a trap door
Shot
Stared down

Who killed the groom
Should we presume
Or do we get in line
With three-thousand excuses

The guilty one holds the ticket
Unashamed
And grinning
As he is revealed
He’s just-a-kid

A kid who understands none of it!
