This is the detective’s side of the story.

For the original Haiku (Parts 1-5) click on the link: http://longjourneysandshortroads.com/2012/12/14/haiku-christmastime-part-5/.

Christmas Eve – first snow

Detective picks up the trail

Killer has no clue

—

Eyes for just the prize

Dressed out in a Santa suit

The detective waits

—

Hidden by shadow

Watching the seasonal beat

of twinkling white lights

—

Killer makes his move

Detective saves this Christmas for

one lucky victim

—

The white lights sparkle

Detective arrives at home

Christmastime is safe

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you guys have a great holiday.

    Lovely Haiku! Quite a different approach; nice interweave of suspense. Merry Christmas 🙂

      Thank you. Just trying something a little bit different since there were already so many great Haiku out there.
