The Poetry Page: On The Bummel with Mrs. Hudson

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

We are staying in at Baker Street this month as Mr. Lestrade, Snr.—father of that well-known inspector—has kindly agreed to visit us with his magic lantern. He has some photographic slides of American people in their own homes that I thought would be rather interesting to view and might spark a few ideas for our poems.

So if you would all like to take a seat, while Mr. Lestrade makes his preparations...


To further assist you in your creative endeavours, here is a quotation from Mr. Holmes’ story ‘The Blanched Soldier’:


“Every family has its own inner knowledge and its own motives, which cannot always be made clear to outsiders, however well-intentioned.”



And here are the usual suggestions for poetry forms:

221B verselet, abecedarian poetry, acrostic poetry, alexandrine, ballad, barzelletta, beeswing, blackout poetry, blitz poem, blues stanza, bref double, Burns stanza, call and response, chastushka, cherita, cinquain, circular poetry, clerihew, clogyrnach, colour poems, compound word verse, concrete poetry, Cornish verse, curtal sonnet, débat, décima, descort, diamante, doggerel, double dactyl, echo verse, ekphrasis, elegiac couplet, elegiac stanza, elfje, englyn, enuig, epigram, epistle, epitaph, epulaeryu, Etheree, fable, Fib, florette, found poetry, free verse, ghazal, haiku, hay(na)ku, In Memoriam stanza, Italian sonnet, jueju, kennings poem, lanturne, lies, limerick, line messaging, list poem, lyric poetry, mathnawī, micropoetry, mini-monoverse, musette, nonsense verse, palindrome poetry, pantoum, Parallelismus Membrorum, poem cycle, puente, quatern, quintilla, renga, rhyming alliterisen, riddle, rimas dissolutas, rime couée, rispetto, Schüttelreim, sedoka, septet, sestina, shadorma, sonnet, stream of consciousness, tanka, tercet, terza rima, tongue twister poetry, triangular triplet, tricube, trine, triolet, Tyburn, villanelle, xenolith


But I believe Mr. Lestrade is ready now. And so if Mrs. Small-Hobbit could take her place at the piano, and if Mrs. Frankles would dim the lights…?

Here we go!
