Just a short poem I wrote based on Holmes remark in A Study in Scarlet (ch4).

Through a mass of tangled thread

He carefully sifts

Noting the colour and texture of each one

He picks at a blue one here

Unwinds a grey one there

He follows the gold yarn till it ends

Slowly, carefully pulling out strand after strand

Until, finally, all the loose ends are joined

And the lone scarlet line is unveiled

He pulls it out, re-raveling it

And ties it into a neat little ball

Then he moves on, to the next pile of string

Please leave a review :)
