Gumshoe

-
Gun in hand
Untwining puzzles
Meticulously investigates scene
Solving crooked crimes
Hooking the guilty
Omnipresence felt everywhere
Ensnaring with suspense


- written for Acrostic Only ; Prompt 8

Meaning of Gumshoe:  A detective or private investigator



Note: The April months' acrostics are all English slangs and usages many of which I wasnt aware of the meaning..These acrostics are really fun to write though I havent been able to do many. This month and probably the next I might not be so regular here, have been very time-tight lately:(

    I really like this! I didn't even care that it was acrostic, it was great all by itself. But being acrostic made it that more powerful.

    i keep saying it, but its never enough. u are amazingly talented. writing a poem is so tough, and to make sure abt its construct is insanely impossible for me!!!

    I love the choice of words. I think words are the most important part of our poems, it shows something about us besides giving the significance to our poems. Very nice.
