Moor Authors, Less Verse
Moor or less what happens at the end of every case
by Wolf's Shadow
Watson sat, in his hand a letter
It read, "These changes would make it better"
The manuscript was thrown down
And he looked at it, on his face a frown.

"Holmes, I feel it is no use."
His friend merely nodded and passed the juice
"My editor says it's fit for a horror
And that my descriptions leave it all the poorer."
MVMVMV
Once again Holmes only nodded his head
As his eyes turned longingly towards the bread
Watson shot Holmes with a fiery glare
Until his friend spoke he'd continue to stare
MVMVMV
Holmes sighed. "There is one point on which I disagree
The genre. Why your wrote it at all is a mystery."
Standing from the table, Watson was upset.
That statement he'd make Holmes live to regret...

Moor regrets
by Hades Lord of the Dead
I hope he will forgive me
For the treachery revealed.
While he thought I was in London
I was on the moor, concealed.
MVMVMV
I hope he will forgive me,
I kept him in the dark again,
But only for the case's sake,
For he is my dearest friend,
MVMVMV
I know he will forgive me,
For this case is so bizarre,
But I find it makes me wonder,
Will I one day go to far?

Moor Sounds
by Nytd
It swept across the mire, carrying a chill to the bone
A murmuring yowl rose to a howling moan
From nowhere and everywhere, it was difficult to tell
Just what had uttered that ghastly yell
Something lurking, something looming
Or perhaps just a bittern I heard booming…
