Holmes and Baskerville Both Had Vicious Hounds
Sonnet Doubles, A Poet's Deeper Thoughts
I Will Not Fiddle To New Hollow Tunes
I will not play fiddle to hollow tune
nor beg day, be lit by pale light of moon
life to have worth, must not be so deceived
for with truth suffering can be relieved.
This heart has much dark's evil eluded
will not now, its cover be denuded.
I will not dance to vanities now set
nor walk wicked paths such as life begets
living happy, requires morals and pride
not lies which others behind now hide.
This heart has much dark's evil eluded
will not now, its cover be denuded.
I will not bow to today's false new course
Too oft such error leads to great remorse.

Sonnet, ( When One Must Take Truly Honorable Stand )
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
Holmes And Baskerville Both Had Vicious Hounds
Writing into dark is not out of bounds
Holmes* and Baskerville* both had vicious hounds
Life is far, far more than our blinded eyes can see
Composing poems, now major part of me.
Into that deep, oft hides creative spark
Shadows that play or lurk in the black dark
In such realms, great imagination swells
Be it of woe'some nightmares born of hells!
Oft there is master Poe, Raven and me
Making darker verse portraits, just we three
Scary tales of death, red blood, spilled guts
Fantasy so deep, others may think nuts!
So please join master Poe, Raven and me
As we ride into deeper born fantasies!

Text The Hound of the Baskervilles at Wikisource
The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialized in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.[2]
One of the most famous stories ever written,[2] in 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel."[3] In 1999, it was listed as the top Holmes novel, with a perfect rating from Sherlockian scholars of 100.[4]
