Welcome again, everyone!

Collecting is of course one of the most popular recreations of our time and comes in many forms. But this time I thought we would concentrate on scrapbooking.

Mr. Holmes naturally likes to deal with his newspaper cuttings but there are other kinds of scrapbooks. And my guest Madame Patricia has consented to come along today to show us the scrapbook of a young acquaintance and discuss some of the many interesting scraps within.


I’m sure this will give you a plethora of material for your creative endeavours. But as further inspiration, here is a quotation from Dr. Watson’s work, “The Adventure of the Empty House”:


“My collection of M's is a fine one,” said he. “Moriarty himself is enough to make any letter illustrious, and here is Morgan the poisoner, and Merridew of abominable memory, and Mathews, who knocked out my left canine in the waiting-room at Charing Cross, and, finally, here is our friend of to-night.” He handed over the book, and I read: Moran, Sebastian, Colonel.



Here as always is the list of 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


And so, let us collect ourselves and begin!

The video was lovely and I like the presenter's charm very much. I will be checking out more of her videos.

A carefully collated collection
Is displayed in a scrapbook - four part
It was made with a deal of affection
For the subject was close to the heart
It shows a beautiful selection of labels
From bottles of wine, rum and gin
With details all noted in tables
All glued in as neat as a pin

I did a sestina with some collage spreads of landladies at a fancy dress ball.

Just wanted to let you know, some of the links to the poetry forms don't work anymore (at least not for me).
