Well this is quite different Pam and yes I can see where it can go in many directions. You could direct it into many scenes and yes it would be very lengthy.
I like the photo, it accommodates the writing well and I must also add that perhaps you should take it out a little longer or continue it.

    Yes Sunday. I just finished a very original painting. I already wrote the Tanka for it.

As with your previous "Lead Detective" poems, this tells a full (well, as full as it can be until Part 2), interesting, suspenseful and emotionally grabbing story, using excellent meter and rhyme. I appreciate that the detective's emotions show through, and his willingness to "go the extra mile" makes the reader want to as well. I'm looking forward to reading Part 2.

This is a bit graphic Pam and a bit gruesome too! But I could see the fun in it too as most of what you've written is tongue in cheek, a crime scene in the making, love Dollyx

    Thank you Dolly for your wonderful review. Murder is a grisly business.

In my opinion, a solid write, in perfect rhyming rhythm, and the tale is one that captivates - I was totally immersed in my read - this, to me, is "Exceptional" in its epic style delivery, and I could have read more - a superb and classic mystery in rhyme - who thought...

A brand new venture for you dear Pam, a gruesome murder/mystery that questions the instigator's mental condition, it sounds a little satanic in nature. But beautufully written in octave stanzas and abab rhyming, well done, blessings, Roy

A very well-written mystery poem/story. It seems the detective will have his hands full to solve this case. The ransom note is even more confusing with a promise to murder more on each full moon.

This is a grisly case for the detective. He's from Los Angeles. I wonder if he's Joe Friday? Y'know? Dragnet. Compels me to read where this goes.

    Maybe he is Joe Friday?s grandson. Lol. Thanks for the great review

This is the most creative thing I've ever seen. A story told in poem genre. It's so clever I stand in awe. You're a genius. The concept alone is worth a six.

    Wow. Thankyou Thomas for an incredibly encouraging review. I have written other mystery and crime poems but not in installments. Thank you so much for the extra star as well

I had never read a poem like this one. Mystery and crime in rhyme. Absolutely original. One comment; I 'bras' is spelled with 's'. Also, in stanza 4, three lines before the last, the poem says 'has' but you wrote her story all in the past, so maybe this should be 'she had a record' and not 'she has a record'.
Thanks

    Hi Loredana. The only parts of this poem that are past tense are things that happened before the lead Detective looked at the crime scene. Most of the lines will be in present tense. For example, the cros WAS carved because it happened in the past while she was still alive. She only has one bra,
    So bra and panties is right. Thanks for the great review

Fictional detectives are often pictured as being hard as nails - they have to be given the job they are in - but I often wonder if this is the case in real life. This one is pretty new to the job (it is only his second case) and he tries to remain detached from the grizzly scene that meets his eye. There is a job to be done and he has to do it but he still retains his humanity.

I look forward to part two of this story, written in octaves of iambic tetrameter.

    He is new to being the lead homicide detective but not to police work. Thank you for the wonderful review
