holmes_minorFor the activity this month we are continuing with the flower theme.
As you know, there are many poems that begin ‘Roses are red, violets are blue…’ We are going to rework that idea a little. We’re keeping the rhyming scheme but for this activity you can pick whatever flowers and colours you want for your poems!
Some examples:
Gardenias are white
Camellias are pink
It's a lovely bouquet
But you still drive me to drink
(Penned by a Mrs. S. Hudson)
Hydrangeas are blue-green
Speedwells are blue-grey
Mr. Holmes is undercover
As Queen of the May
Please leave all your poems in the comments!
As always, you needn’t take part in this activity if you don’t wish to. Once you’re a member, you can post what and when you want—as long as you keep to the 500 words or less wordcount and the ACD Holmes ‘verse. AUs, crossovers and fusions are all permitted, as long as the characters remain essentially recognisable as the original ACD versions.

and in the stories
that embellish our hours.
