holmes_minorWelcome once again!
This month we will only be going walking distance—and perhaps appropriately enough this will be in order to go and look at shoes.
Mrs. Turner’s uncle’s neighbour’s son (I think I have that right) works for The London Shoe Company, specifically being in charge of the warehouse in New Bond Street. Normally the shoes are sold exclusively by mail order but Mr. Eslington (Mrs. Turner’s uncle’s neighbour’s son) has arranged for us take a tour of the warehouse, culminating in the opportunity to buy a pair of shoes each at trade price! Yes, I know—exciting!
Before we set off, perhaps you might like to take a look at these advertisements to give you some idea of their stock.
Ladies’ Boots
Ladies’ Shoes
Ladies’ & Gentlemen’s Shoes, including Cycling Shoes
I am hoping that our little tour might inspire you with regards to your poems. And I would also like to offer a quotation from Dr. Watson’s ‘A Case of Identity’ to additionally assist your artistic endeavours:
“I can never bring you to realise the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.”
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
