sherlock60Welcome 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.
And here, courtesy of my housemaid Rachel, is this week’s suggested poem to read—a suggestion inspired by the themes and subjects in this week's story. Hopefully you will enjoy the poem, and perhaps it may give you some ideas for a poem of your own or allow you to look at Dr. Watson's story in a new way.
Yours
by Leo Marks
Note from Rachel: [note on the note from Mrs. Hudson: I have reworked Rachel’s personal comment to me, so any awkwardness of phrasing or vocabulary is mine.] This is a code poem, so it fits neatly with the opening chapters of Dr. Watson's story. However, the line in the poem, "death is merely a pause," does seem appropriate for the larger mystery too.
Thank you so much to Rachel. And here is my suggested form to revisit this week: riddle poems. (The link will take you back to a previous poetry page.)
But you do not have to use that form. 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, found poetry, ghazal, haiku, 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

Was as famed among the crooked cusses
As … he was unknown by law (saving Holmes’ blushes).

Date: 2016-06-19 05:22 pm (UTC)A riddle
Date: 2016-06-12 08:28 am (UTC)There’s a certain flourish to my ‘e’.
I’ve sent a cipher without the key.
I’m the pilot fish for the shark,
Swimming through the devilish dark.
Occasionally rising up from hell
To claim my tenner at Camberwell.
‘Porlock’ is my nom de plume—
The blurred persona I assume.
Who am I?

My second is in words
But the answer will not be found in time.
My third is in Doctor
Who assists with the dance.
My last is in Holmes,
MacDonald’s best chance.
