Title: Fruitful Verse
Rating: G
Length: 305
Poetic Form: etheree (octuple)
Author's Note: Greenaway's Language of Flowers gives the following meanings: cherry (good education); plum (fidelity); peach (your qualities like your charms are unequal); raspberry(remorse); and strawberry (love and esteem); the tart also contains blackberry and blueberry preserves.
Inky's Note: Mrs. Hudson was kind enough to lend me the use of her kitchen (and her opposable thumbs) to prepare a most auspicious dessert, the epiphany tart, for presentation with this verse on this felicitous occasion and so I humble submit:

To Mister Holmes, a bit of fruitful verse on this the anniversary of your birth.
Happy Birthday, Mister Holmes! )

Title: Seven Orchids by Inky Quill
Rating: Gen
Length: 105
Content Notes: English sonnet;
Summary: Inky's been quite inspired by his West Country sojourn

The seven orchids of the autumn moor
are known to bloom when summer’s riches wane
They mark the site where maid of lore was slain
and seven virtues felled by evil’s boor.

For Innocence defiled so ruthlessly
For Beauty seized like plund’ring victor’s prize
For gentle Grace unmarred by weeping eyes
For Youth made far too old by tragedy

For Wisdom borne of peril’s schooling hand
For Courage bold to grasp the chance escape
to flee, mayhap, her destiny reshape
For Strength that bore ‘til form could not withstand.

Thus, blossoms spring from seven tear-sown ground,
and from a drop of blood, the ‘venging hound.
