The Poetry Page: On The Bummel with Mrs. Hudson

Everyone here...? Wonderful.

Thank you so much for joining me outside 221 Baker Street. This month we will be taking the ‘bus to visit the church of St. Mary-le-Bow. We will be having a guided tour and there is the possibility of having a try at ringing those famous Bow bells!

Of course, to officially be declared a Cockney one must be born within earshot of the Bow bells, and our guide today is a Cockney himself. And I believe as well as taking us round the church, as a bonus he will be introducing us to a little rhyming slang.


To further assist you in your poems, here is a quotation from Doctor Watson’s story ‘The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist ’:

Who was I? What did I want? What did I mean by asking questions? He had a fine flow of language, and his adjectives were very vigorous.


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



Here comes the ‘bus! It’s time to make our way to Cheapside and St. Mary-le-Bow church!
