Do you write haiku?
Syllables begin with five,
Then seven, then five.
And now your challenge -
We all love a mystery!
Write one for us, please.
Of course, there are rules;
Mysteries must be Haiku.
Here's an example:
She died at midnight;
Sherry and strychnyne don't mix...
The butler did it.
One haiku is all
You have to tell your story.
(Much unlike these rules)
Spelling's important;
So is plot, so be careful!
And it MUST make sense.
You may want a prize.
In fact, there will be prizes!
...When I think of some.
August thirty one -
Last date of submissions, please,
Just before midnight;
Exact server time
Is eleven fifty nine.
Don't miss the deadline!

(this is way too hard!!!)
Her smashed watch said four.
At four he was in the bar.
He'd reset the watch.

A shot to the head
In an alley he's found dead
Gun 'neath ex-wife's bed
(Here's my entry. Seems it all rhymed unintentionally. )

Shady can you tell
me who murdered the suspect?
As I have no clue.

A thread and a hair,
She saw you there, fleeing.
Accused, imprisoned.

Odor, the smell left
behind at the scene of crime,
a shot to the head.

A body lie still.
A heart beating one last beat.
Who would commit this?
