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.
The Great Black Hound Upstairs

He walked in the alley to take the night air
But ran till his heart burst from what found him there

Date: 2016-09-04 09:28 am (UTC)Came from the moor and did not tarry
Came from the moor, dark and dreary
Came from the moor, to town.
Country doctor, came to the city
Came with stick and spaniel, did he
Came with a story, grim and gritty
“There’s on the moor, a hound.”
Country doctor came to London
Came from the moor, yes, that’s where he come from
“What shall I do? Oh, help me someone!
There’s on the moor, a hound!”
Country doctor knocked on the door, he
Knocked on the door of 221B
“Oh, what shall I do with young sir Henry?
There’s on the moor, a hound!”

This obnoxious smell is making me choke
It’s only a little tobacco smoke
The air in here is really thick
Open the window, that’ll do the trick

Date: 2016-09-04 12:14 pm (UTC)Master, why am I left down here below?
Stay! There’s something I need to know.
Master, why are you so long up there?
Sit! I’m discussing the Baskerville heir.
Master, don’t you hear my scratch?
Down! I’ve got business to dispatch.
Master, master, outside’s so dull.
Hush. I’m ogling Mr. Holmes’s skull.
