***

He waded ashore on St. Helena and collapsed.

He hadn’t survived this long without recognizing organized crime in that “accidental” push – and he’d taken the bastard with him into the sea.


Leaving poor Ivy behind to mourn was the worst part. But better that than she be caught up in this murderous mess.

Jack Witherspoon would start a new life.

Title: Piercing
Canon Story: The Valley of Fear, part II
Summary: Holmes clarifies his final gesture of the story.

“Holmes, you are straining, aren’t you?”
“I am Watson.”
“To pierce the veil?”
“No! I just said that I need time for that! I am straining to see what’s in the street. To pierce the film on these filthy windows. I must have a word with Mrs. Hudson about the new girl.”
“For God’s sake, no! Let me do it!”

Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page: The Valley of Fear, Pt. 2, Chap. 5 - Epilogue

Welcome once again to my poetry page!

I hope each week you will read Dr. Watson’s delightful narrative and then go on to write a poem related to it in some way. All forms of poetry are permitted, and further down the page there is a selection you might like to consider using over the coming weeks.

Mr. Holmes has popped by briefly to tell me the case is now in the latter stages and Rachel should be resuming her duties at Baker Street very soon. Excellent news—but I have of course coped perfectly well without her. And certainly did not forget myself so far as to embrace Mr. Holmes and weep on his shoulder.

So, in the meantime, here is another featured form to try: the In Memoriam stanza.

( Definition and Example )

But you do not have to use this form, if you do not wish to. Any form of poetry is welcome this week—and every week! Here are a few suggestions for you:

221B verselet, abecedarian poetry, acrostic poetry, alexandrine, ballad, beeswing, blackout poetry, blues stanza, bref double, Burns stanza, call and response, chastushka, cinquain, circular poetry, clerihew, colour poems, concrete poetry, Cornish verse, curtal sonnet, diamante, doggerel, double dactyl, ekphrasis, elegiac couplet, elegiac stanza, elfje, englyn, epigram, epitaph, epulaeryu, Etheree, fable, Fib, florette, found poetry, ghazal, haiku, In Memoriam stanza, Italian sonnet, jueju, kennings poem, lanturne, limerick, lyric poetry, mathnawī, micropoetry, mini-monoverse, palindrome poetry, pantoum, Parallelismus Membrorum, poem cycle, quintilla, renga, riddle, rime couée, Schüttelreim, sedoka, septet, sestina, sonnet, tanka, tercet, terza rima, tongue twister poetry, triangular triplet, triolet, Tyburn, villanelle


Please leave all your poems inspired by The Valley of Fear in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!



Warm regards,

Mrs. Hudson

Author's Notes: Ten days later they were married in Chicago…


Tomorrow she would be Mrs. Edwards.

Ettie smiled to herself. And then shook her head at her own foolishness as the tears began to fall too.

They were tears of relief—of course. But they were also in memoriam. For ‘Jack McMurdo’, left forever behind.

Birdy was a far better man but...

It was Jack she’d fallen in love with.

There is always a sense of anticipation when returning to 221B after being away for a case.  My own comfortable armchair, the opportunity for a pipe without fear of interruption, a pile of correspondence for Holmes to discard as of little interest, and a note from Mrs Hudson regarding the cost of repairs to our rooms discovered in our absence.
