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.
There is no poem from Rachel this week but instead, here is a new poetry form to try: line messaging.
Shadow Poetry gives this definition:
Line Messaging is a poetry form created by Angel Favazza is a poetic form wherein the poet utilizes the last line of each stanza to help represent an overall idea. So if the last line of each stanza is read together (separately from the poem) it will have an independent message or be a poem all on its own.
Here is my example poem:
A blackguard underneath
Says the witness in Blackheath.
A trifling woman made of fluff.
Finding an answer is hard.
Maybe the victory belongs to Lestrade,
Strangely enough.
Luckily Oldacre will seal his own fate
Because this case to date
Is really quite tough.
But you do not have to use this form, if you do not wish to. 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, free verse, ghazal, haiku, In Memoriam stanza, Italian sonnet, jueju, kennings poem, lanturne, limerick, line messaging, 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 Norwood Builder in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Hudson

To get her son hanged by mistake was his aim
But one thumbprint too many ruined the frame
Line Messaging
Date: 2017-01-08 12:41 pm (UTC)When distraction from criminal activity is thin
Could be better assuaged by considering
The cost of gin
At least lighting a fire in another house
Where smouldering hay needs to be smothered
Is better than in his rooms when the furniture
Must be re-covered
For then the damages are caused elsewhere
And at home not even a poker is bent
And the tenants do not need to be troubled
By an increase in rent

Date: 2017-01-08 12:45 pm (UTC)loveâs spritely
memory doth
burn.
A chapter
hereafter
never lost to
yore.
Others rust
gather dust
but this, one doth
husband.
I recall
bits and all
as lucidly
as you do.
Faint whisper
clear, crisper,
it echoes of
yore.
The lot to marry
Must eâer carry
(and be carried)
âcross loveâs final
bridge.
