Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Detective Story

1 a.m. - I noted the time,

This detective cop was called to

Investigate a murder crime.

That's the job that I'm paid to do.

1 a.m. - arrived at crime scene,

Found the victim dead on the floor,

Bullet hole in forehead between

The eyes, kind of hard to ignore.

1 a.m. - searched the home but found

Nobody else, so went outside.

A gun was laying on the ground,

Possibly how the victim died.

1 a.m. - did dawn on this cop,

For some reason my watch did stop.
