Haiku: The road to the North

Weekly Writing Challenge: Haiku Catchoo!

What about a murder mystery in 5 haikus?

***

Pale dead body

Grayling is finally cold

His eyes stare North

***

A weeping widow

Wails about her love for him

They met when nineteen

***

Police Inspector

Sees shadows across the grounds

Her dark story forms

***

With a long sharp knife

The rival philosopher

But she can’t go on

***

Take a break and rest

The widow walks slowly on

The road to the North

Eri night
