The Sunday Whirl ~ Wordle #523 ~ No Weapon Found ~ #Poetry

No Weapon Found


The air, thick with the smell of iron
A blood-soaked drawing
Found under the body of a young man
Depicting a church. The space around, 
seemingly undisturbed, no weapon found
Time of death estimated at 12 pm
News spread like wildfire
Murder on one of our favourite beaches
Time is a fault in finding the perpetrator
Every minute searching for clues becomes tight
A net slowing the officers
The small rowboat might hold a clue
They are warned that speedy actions
will lead the investigation astray
Detective James yelled across the office
Someone bring that priest in for questioning!

    Great! So beautiful, and similar to my own real world experiences. ;-) Do not question a priest. He will never say anything. ;-) Have a nice day! xx Michael
