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 found poetry.
Wikipedia gives this definition:
Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning. The resulting poem can be defined as either treated: changed in a profound and systematic manner; or untreated: virtually unchanged from the order, syntax and meaning of the original.
Here is my example poem. All words and phrases have been taken from the first chapter of The Hound of the Baskervilles:
My
silver-plated coffee-pot
has
escaped me.
I
looked
down
his favourite corner of the settee.
The probability lies in that direction.
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, alexandrine, blackout poetry, call and response, cinquain, circular poetry, clerihew, colour poems, concrete poetry, diamante, doggerel, double dactyl, elegiac couplet, epigram, epulaeryu, fable, found poetry, ghazal, haiku, limerick, lyric poetry, palindrome poetry, riddle, sedoka, septet, sestina, sonnet, tanka, tercet, terza rima, tongue twister poetry, 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

Found poetry: all words, partial words and phrases taken from chap. 4
Date: 2015-07-26 07:21 am (UTC)You have had some remarkable experience since you arrived in
Leeds?
The North
has
highly educated
people!
“By
Gum,” said Holmes.
A/N: The author would like to point out she’s a northerner, though not actually from Yorkshire. Or indeed highly educated.

Date: 2015-07-26 07:36 am (UTC)…Which is weird, ‘cause he fell off the face
Of the story for four
Solid chapters or more,
Leaving readers with nary a trace.
Re: Limerick: The Curious Incident
Date: 2015-07-26 09:10 am (UTC)I have to say though that I think it's quite nice when Watson takes centre stage - it's nice to have him to ourselves for a while ^^
Re: Limerick: The Curious Incident
Date: 2015-07-27 05:07 am (UTC)Oh yes it was nice to have Watson gadding about by himself for a while, hanging with Sir Henry and solving stuff on his own.

Date: 2015-07-26 04:38 pm (UTC)An exceeding amount of tobacco was smoked
The spirit of Holmes was in Dartmoor
And Mrs Hudson was extremely provoked
The rooms could have been set on fire
From the haze which distorted the view
The body of Holmes was unmoved
Regardless of how thick the air grew
The brave doctor threw open the window
And gradually the room became clear
Holmes’ spirit and body came together
And he told of what Mortimer should fear
