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.
Unfortunate Coincidence
by Dorothy Parker

Please leave all your poems inspired by The Noble Bachelor in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Hudson

Limerick
Date: 2016-08-21 07:55 am (UTC)Holmes hails a cab for a ride,
Has a snack here and there,
And from out of thin air
He finds her – and her husband beside.
A tongue-twister poem
Date: 2016-08-21 01:51 pm (UTC)St. Simon says: suspend all subordinate sessions!
And Sherlock surely shelves.
St. Simon says: Sleuth, search for spouse!
And Sherlock surely seeks.
Share the supper and shrive all slights!
(Says Sherlock. Didn’t say St. Simon says.)

Whilst whiling the time away playing whist
One can but wonder about the woodcock

Date: 2016-08-25 01:37 am (UTC)if the woodcock was named Jacques?
How much cock could a woodcock mock
if the woodcock was named Jacque?
How much cock could a woodcock hawk
if the woodcock was named Jacques?

I’m uneasily queasy
poor Watson’s gots the trots (or the privy-squats or the belly-rots)
and it’s all account (that is, it’s all the lots)
of that schemin’ shamin’ pimpin’ woodcock Jacques!
