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.
“To fight aloud is very brave”
by Emily Dickinson
Note from Rachel: For Mr. Henry Wood, his most courageous battles were surely those least recognized. In the struggle against loneliness, disability, and the loss of self-worth, he proved heroic.
Thank you so much to Rachel. And here is my suggested form to revisit this week: the Schüttelreim. (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, musette, 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 Crooked Man in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Hudson

He threw Wood to the foe
For his girl. Now we know
Who was truly the crooked man here.

Alas, my latest locum truly cost me dearest, name
Of Captain Homer Jackson; disappeared with nearest dame.

Date: 2016-10-23 12:38 pm (UTC)There was a crooked man, who walked a straight life.
He dreamt of bright fields—found instead of light, strife.
