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.
Escape
by Fombona Rufino Blanco
[Translated from the original Spanish]
Note from Rachel: The long-suffering Miss Alice must often have dreamed of escape.
Thank you so much to Rachel. And here is my suggested form to revisit this week: doggerel. (The link takes 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, 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 Copper Beeches in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Hudson

He bullied his daughter for cash; she resisted
But the dress and short hair didn’t work; beau persisted

The deed is wrought
She hopes for plenty
By going short

Date: 2016-07-24 10:30 am (UTC)Whose aide with pills did bury her.
An Airedale true who met his end
By falling into lion’s den.
An evil test of infant’s fate
el pobre Carlo’s stiffened gait.
A long-haired, lop-eared mongrel queer
Whose nose detective’s course did steer.
The swift Pompey who also led
the way in wake of brougham’s tread.
Twas scents that drove poor Roy half-wild,
of man and ape, unreconciled.
A Shoscombe breed was cast away
when mistress’s role was man’s to play.
A stable-guard when mute abet
a scoundrel’s scheme to pay his debt.
The massive mastiff starved, unleashed
his rage upon two-legged beast.
Of all, the canine most renowned
is Dartmoor’s phantom glowing hound.
The morals of these yarns may be
to man’s best friend collectively:
beware of outstretched hands that feed,
of trails where scents and gents may lead;
to bark or not, your choice to make,
though always clue, ‘tis ne’er mistake;
And whene’er Watson draws his gun,
there’s nothing left to do but run!

And so Miss Violet Hunter
Who doesn’t wish to affront her
Finds herself in rather a mess
