Notes About The Poem

Super Sherlock

When Sherlock Holmes is solving a case
the villains footsteps he must retrace
He's such an excellent sleuth
and will uncover the truth
his detection skills truly are ace!

Your 999 is rather ominous, isn't it? Well done with sleuth and truth (a word missing from the American vocabulary)! Aloha! Rico

I've read a while ago that most writers were choosing Robin Hood; good to see you opting for Sherlock Holmes...and with very good results, too! Hugs // paul

:) Enjoyed, Jan! I've always found Holmes interesting, but in the movie, it's Watson (Jude Law) who steals my heart. Glad to see you writing again, my friend. Best wishes in Joseph's fun contest! Hugs, carolyn

A cracker Jan, I noticed there was one place left,thankfully you made it. It should stand out because everyone else has done Robin Hood lol. Good luck. Tom.
