jacknjill270 gave me the idea of writing poetry about Sherlock Holmes. Since I'm working my way through the assignments in Writing Metrical Poetry, and the first assignment is to write a blank verse quatrain about a historical or literary figure, this is the perfect idea.
The first poem I wrote is just a quatrain, and is actually about John Watson.
To Watson
Deduction, Dear--and nothing more
you see, but don't observe;
and yet you know this man much more
than can describe by word.
( More poetry behind this cut )
ETA: Does anyone know of a Sherlock Holmes community where I could post these poems? I've taken a look at the userinfo for the new comms, and they seem to only want content regarding the new BBC adaptation.
