Vagabond Murder is a poem about a poor homeless man savagely murdered one dark evening. Today’s random twitter poem was inspired by the 15 words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:

@planetjefferson (chum), @jmbuckingham (woeful), @daNanner (exhausted), @wizzardsblog (quagmire), @concisionflux (breathlessness), @johnjriewe (munificent), @the_watchmaker (murder), @amysav83 (random), @jamiain (drunk), @PatRowe (pathetic), @dreamon51 (lavaliere), @wishinghearts (antioxidant), @filigreegirl (quamash), @amysav83 (welcomes), @zorlone (photo finish)

Vagabond Murder

An exhausted, woeful, pathetic drunk
alone in the night, without a chum

a lavalier dangling around his neck
his personal antioxidant against spirits

Foul odor like decayed quamash fills the air
as a random dark stranger approaches the man

Munificent murder, his apparent gift tonight
an air of breathlessness overtakes the vagabond

This quagmire, something he could not have predicted
death swoops in on silent shadows; and welcomes him

Barely a struggle, no photo finish needed at all
As the beggar’s life ends in dark deep red
