The Mysterious Midnight Poet


There's someone writing poetry and leaving it anonymously on people's doorsteps in Morgantown, West Virginia. Who is it? The Charleston Gazette investigates.

From the article...

City police Lt. Harold Sperringer says the poems written on scraps of paper don't appear threatening. In fact, the writer appears to be trying to sway recipients' minds on a variety of topics.

Sperringer said the poems are "hard to explain'' and they "don't make a lot of sense.''

The notes started appearing on porches last month in the city's first and second wards. So far police have collected several, but Sperringer says some residents have thrown them away.
