sherlock60Welcome once again to my poetry page!
I hope each week you will read Dr. Watson’s delightful narrative and then be inspired 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.
This week my featured form is tongue twister poetry.
Shadow Poetry gives the following definition:
A Tongue Twister poem is made up of lines/verses that are hard to say when read aloud by using similar consonant sounds in succession (use of alliteration). In other words, the poem ties your tongue into knots. This form does not require end or internal rhyme.
Here is my example poem:
I do apologise for that final word. I realise there are many ladies of delicate sensibilities in my readership, who are simply not used to this kind of language. However, sometimes I feel the need. (That was my mother’s china, you know.)
As always, this is simply something to consider for the future. Any form of poetry is welcome this week—and every week! Here are a few suggestions for you:
221B verselet, abecedarian poetry, acrostic poetry, cinquain, clerihew, concrete poetry, epigram, haiku, limerick, palindrome poetry, riddle, sedoka, sestina, sonnet, tanka, terza rima, tongue twister poetry, triolet, tyburn, villanelle
Please leave all your poems inspired by The Man with the Twisted Lip in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!

Daftly, a detective
Dons disguises in his dwelling.
Disturbing a distracted dame,
Who drops his dinner, declaring: “D___!”
