a/n:and back to the three Garridebs again:-)
a variation on an ovillejo
Holmes and companions do not belong to me
POV of Watson
Revelation
I confess I did not understand at the start,
A great heart;
Such a rare and unusual item to find,
Was behind
Many cases we followed, again and again.
His great brain
Didn't simply exist on some lone higher plane.
But it took just one gunshot, my own injury,
And my friend's shocked reaction, before I could see
That, indeed, a great heart was behind his great brain.

a/n2:ovillejo:Spanish form; 10 lines, 3 sets of long lines followed by short rhyming lines. Then another long line rhyming with the one before, two lines which rhyme with each other, then a last line containing the short lines. I altered the last line by adding 2 extra words to improve the flow. I posted another in this form as "Bare" in a Sherlock BBC series; "inverse observations"
