A Flash Poem of 55 Words
Mystery
This bird's gonna die
The gas is on 'cause
I opened the valve
I'll pull closed the door
Turn the fatal key
You're after the bird
You can watch him die
Go slowly to sleep
Die, die, you are dead
Throw the key back in
Suicide they'll think
Though murder it is
Ilk must die

- At the above link Kerry has given us some information about an artist named "McMonster". She has displayed one picture of his, an ink art work showing an owl watching some idle machinery from which came my idea for this poem.
It is also time for Flash writing, my offering has exactly 55 words not including the title.
