Hello All … nice to see you again.
As you know we’re experimenting with a new Saturday format to see where we’re eventually going to “land”. The idea is that although poetry will not be neglected as this is poetry day (and Shadorma day since day one!), we will also introduce one of the micro-story telling modes be it Flash Fiction or perhaps a max 50 word write or perhaps a Power Short – with a little touch of genre from time to time, like today!
Today we’re going to play around with the mystery genre not using more than 150 words. So let’s put on our Conan Doyle thinking caps and give it a whirl.
First of all for your inspiration here’s list of five things … clues perhaps of what happened and who done it.
A BROKEN VASE
THREE DAISIES
A KNIFE
A MUSSED UP RUG
A SHOPPING BAG
And a photo for orientation …
As always you may prefer to write a Shadorma (syllabic poem with a meter of 3/5/3/3/7/5) or you may choose one of the poetry forms in our Glossary of Forms. If you’re feeling really inspired try mixing your mystery with a Shadorma ending creating a Shadorma Summation mixing prose with poetry!
Once you’ve completed your work ping us in your post then please tag Mindlovesmisery’s Menagerie and Saturday Mix. Then link to Mr. Linky so it’ll be easier for our readers to find your work. That’s all there is to it – except of course, have fun.

The pingback won’t work, I fear because I posted before adding a title (duh). Anyhow… it’s here; https://stephaniecolpron.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/clues/
