A Sleuth Who Thought Truth Too Uncouth
A sleuth who thought truth too uncouth Invented a villain named ‘Ruth’. Her crimes, though quite quaint, Compelled him to faint, Reviving his nerves with vermouth. ...

Sleuth of Sorrows
The lonely shadow aside from the worldly poles Wrenching like an unhidden find to hold And the horrible ink of dreadful poison swiftly mold Eyes were injurious red like a bleeding bed Thoughts of frightful threads wrap and rashly roll the clutching traps Shadow envelopes like a black door Tears were tip and tapped one after more Shadow of...

Rumor sleuth
In the land of glitz and glitter. Visionaires film moving pictures. Acting out their fantasies. Through love ,war, or tragedy. Who got hot between the sheets. To rhapsody's elusive beat. As a plot began to steam Audacity, almost Obscene. Humors truth, alloyed themes. Viewers rule, Android dreams. Rumor sleuths, Tabloid screams. Future jewels on a silver screen....

Sleuth
Love said in truth It takes a slueth To know if it is true Or just meant to leave you blue Should I hide I can't decide What does it even mean After what I have seen Should I run What can be done Can I afford another fall Build around my heart a wall Is love real What's the deal. Should I stay alone You know what...

The Sleuth of Soup Creek
With a fresh cup of coffee, I stepped outside to have a peek. It was another peaceful morning, in the valley around Soup Creek. I caught the glint of a Winchester, a model ninety-four. It was across the lap of Jenna, just outside the saloon door. From the corner of my eye, I saw Jan sneaking to the loo. I...

The Crime of the Clock
The Crime of the Clock David J Walker Only now do I know The name of my youth Printed on tablets of stone A suspicious truth Laced in vermouth the creative slaves And the innocent naves Dine alone In the booth Of their own design Only now do I know The lateness of the hour And the power Of the clocks opine...

A Sleuth Self-Made
Two sisters have enlisted me to solve for them a mystery. Sounds and music they can sometimes hear, and from their manor things then disappear. What’s happening? Is there a ghost? Who takes the things they value most? I stay with them and notice strange things too. Like one day when canaries flew right through! The eeriness and creaking in the night makes me...

Never Fail In Loving Yourself
NEVER FAIL IN LOVING YOURSELF Fall, as many time as it takes But never trivialize your soul like flakes. You are no less than a fantasy; In sooth you're as esoteric as a sea. Keep it real for there's nothing aesthetic in being an elf. Never fail in loving yourself! You are not less, Neither a heap nor a mess. The universe took its...

A Gum Shoe Is What I Want To Be
In my child’s mind a gumshoe sleuth detective that would be me. Nancy Drew or Ms. Marple, invented by Agatha Christie. Trixie Belden and Honey too, there were so many choices you see. I spent many an hour reading these books, training for the detective in me. How many job choices along the way could there possibly be? Lots of common...

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...
