Written for: dVerse Poets Pub: Catching Up With Brian Miller, Part 1
In Quadrille stye, in 44 words exactly, write a poem or prose, with the word JOURNEY. (posted by Grace)
A journey on the Orient Express
with stops in exotic lands–
glossy wood compartments
carrying wealthy women,
retired colonels, famous
detectives, and spies.
I among them in the dining car,
sipping a brandy or two, and exchanging
stories, until–midnight and murder,
most foul.

This made me think I was travelling with Pierot (sp?) or Marple on an exotic midnight train. Love the mystery in this and the drinking of cognac. Excellent!
