Admin Post: The Poetry Page: On The Bummel with Mrs. Hudson
![[admin post]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/entry/admin_post.png){kind=small}
So, after a little hiatus, thank you all for joining me again. This month we are attending a talk on making and applying our own cosmetics! The lecturer will be the knowledgeable and talented Miss Erin Parsons, and I am greatly looking forward to hearing what she has to say. I of course do not use cosmetics myself, being a respectable older lady—
No, my gentle blush is entirely natural, Mrs. Frankles.
Yes, it is.
Well, some people have naturally streaky cheeks. Can we move on?
Ahem. Even though I don’t use cosmetics myself (Mrs. Frankles! Thank you) Mr. Holmes has apparently gained a great deal of useful advice from Miss Parsons and thoroughly recommended her as an informative evening-out for our little group.
So let us all take our seats in the hall! In preparation for writing our poems later, here is a quotation from Dr. Watson’s work, “The Dying Detective” to ponder:
“But your appearance, Holmes—your ghastly face?” “Three days of absolute fast does not improve one's beauty, Watson. For the rest, there is nothing which a sponge may not cure. With vaseline upon one's forehead, belladonna in one's eyes, rouge over the cheek-bones, and crusts of beeswax round one's lips, a very satisfying effect can be produced.”
And here 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 here is Miss Parsons to the stage!
