A Roman Noir

Just for Laughs

Not a Sonnet
 
I was alone in the house, Saturday afternoon
About to nap; opted instead to be a poet
The theme or the story? That I know not yet!
A tragic tale; or newlyweds on a honeymoon?
 
Then my grey cells went to work; why not both?
Why not indeed! Set up the story in an island
In the Far East, maybe somewhere in Thailand!
A naked corpse was found in the undergrowth...
 
And behold! A bloody knife next to her body
There were no footprints in the muddy terrain
Close by, a wedding dress, with a reddish stain
The groom nowhere to be found; what a mystery!
 
Alas! Fourteen lines in a sonnet, that’s all I got!
So, till next Saturday, when I’ll resolve this plot!
