***

Failure, Father’s voice hammers into my brain as I walk back to the corpse. Slow, stupid, clumsy. Look what you’ve done.

Sir Henry had deserved better from me. I’d lapsed in my duty, just long enough for –

A beard.

I’m so overcome with relief that I cry it aloud, startling my dear Watson, even before I bend over poor Selden.
 

The Hound of the Baskervilles: The Man on the Tor

Title: The Man on the Tor
Rating: Gen
Summary: Poem, POV Watson, slash implied.

The man on the tor
Knows the how and wherefore
Of tomorrow and yore
and truth from lore

The man on the tor
whom rogues abhor
for whom gold is ore
and rest a chore

The man on the tor
who might, of life, ask for
more,
much more.
“Lo! The one I adore!”
Cries the man on the tor.

Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page: The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chaps. 9-12

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

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.

My housemaid is currently still on secondment to Mr. Holmes. As far as I understand it, Rachel is undercover in Bermondsey as ‘Dr. John Wilson’; Dr. Watson is undercover in Brixton as ‘Sherlott Hyams’; and Mr. Holmes is popping back to Baker Street each morning as ‘Raquel’ in order to do the ironing. (I do not pretend to understand. This is why I keep gin in the house.)

Rachel should be back with us next week but until then, here is a new poetry form to try: the tanka.

( 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, musette, 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 Hound of the Baskervilles in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!


Warm regards,

Mrs. Hudson

The Hound of the Baskervilles: What does man want more?

Author's Notes: I brought Cartwright down with me… and he has seen after my simple wants: a loaf of bread and a clean collar… He has given me an extra pair of eyes upon a very active pair of feet… What does man want more?


Cartwright had left for his Grimpen lodgings and Holmes was alone again, pondering.

The boy was a fine assistant. However...

Holmes sighed.

Turning away from his fire, he gazed out at the moor.

Hopefully the reunion with his 'conductor of light' would be soon. He had not realised how much he would miss having Watson to discuss the case with.

Hound of the Baskervilles: Biscuit Trouble

Notes: Draws on the theater and melodrama information we had some weeks ago....


“The cry of a gigantic hound?  What nonsense,” Mrs. Hudson set biscuits in a neat line.

“Implausible, certainly,” Holmes disturbed the line, munched messily.  “Growl? Perhaps. Cry? Unlikely.”

“Or a huge mastiff covered with that glowing paint they’re so fond of in Drury Lane.  No, that’s a silly notion.”

A crumbly mass of biscuit fell to the carpet.

“Oh! Sherlock!”

So, at least Holmes is here, but as far as I can see that is the only good thing about this case.  Selden is dead, and although a convict, no man deserves to die that way.  And we are still not in a position to act, which means Stapleton may yet accomplish what he has set out to do.  Damnation!
