Doylish Clichés
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: 1. Erm...first post ever? Like I said, English is not my first language and I'm rather new to English poems, so feel free to offer advice (and encouragements XD)!
2. The verses switch between H&W's POVs, starting with W's.
3. I'm considering writing a series of little poems, and I thought I'd start with something light and fun. Sorry if it seems a bit disproportioned, I'm trying to focus on those scenes that happen nearly every time:)
4. Wish you do enjoy, and please R&R!
During my long and intimate acquaintance with
It always thus begun
The world's foremost consulting detective
Would start the opening round
The soil on your shoes, the laces it stain
A clearer story is hard to obtain
Now if you'd be so kind as to open the door
A little conundrum is here to entertain
I believe our client was taken aback
By just how his dissection was profound
Elementary, Holmes's parlour tricks may be
They never fail to astound
Whatever can be said in front of me
The doctor shall hear it too
Be it a knight, a lord, the King himself
The team consists of two
He's crawling in mud looking for a brad
I hesitate between laugh and sigh
No doubt our client is more than glad
When at last we bid goodbye
A three-pipe problem it turns out to be
As I ponder in silent thought
But my Boswell's query cracks a spark
And the pieces click as ought
Revolver in hand and thrill in mind
I turn to eyes ablaze with excite
As clear to me a message as any word I find:
'Come on, Watson. The Game's afoot!'
Now, now, my dear Watson
Once again justice ends as winner
Now if we hail a cab and make some haste
We'll still be in time for dinner
Clichés though these little moments are
They never were anybody's foe
For there shines a true friendship
That graces the years of woe
P.S. Urgh, the formating nearly killed me...How do you divide the verses without using lines?
