2024 April PAD Challenge: Day 4

This is the 17th annual April Poem-A-Day Challenge on Writer’s Digest

Day 4 — For today’s prompt, write a mistake poem: one you’ve made or witnessed. 

Reading about Crimes 

The mistake was mine. I'll confess
I love whodunnits. But I digress.
I put down the fiver. I looked away
Stab or shoot? Hmm, which way to slay?
Wait! I'm not stealing a book!
Look in my bag! Really, just look!
TWO books by Christie??
Well, I declare. It IS a mystery.


			

One thought on “2024 April PAD Challenge: Day 4

  1. Never shoulda done it,

    I had decided to be kind,

    I bought someone a beer,

    watched him unwind.

    Didnt know he had it in him,

    but a case and 10 hours later…

    I got a call to close his tab,

    by a very concerned waiter.
