Sherlock Holmes

Fictional detective Sherlock Holmes

But the criminals are always arrested.

A buck at a time

so spent

Mr. Sherlock Holmes
has by now studied a good many forensic tomes
as much as they matter
elementary that Watson should ponder every blood splatter.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Born on Scottish soil
Both writer and physician, he delivered us Sherlock Holmes.
A spiritualist too, he believed in fairies; possibly in gnomes!

Sherlock Holmes Once Said To Watson

Sherlock Holmes once said to Watson,
“This murder was done by a dachshund!
   It’s quite elementary;
   He’s short and he’s hairy
And walks with two pairs of socks on.”

Clouded

dusky hour
I'm tryin to sleep
these nite time showers
they become my beat
as I walk from bar to bar
wish I knew where you are
because you've clouded my mind

A gang of three guys displaying their flairs
Nonplus by the grin boy with curly hairs
Horror by the toothless teen
perfectly suits Halloween
As if he is Holmes, the third puts on airs.

Daddys Color (Buy Kimmy Holmes, My Daughter)

Daddy, your color is gray
Not quite white
Not quite bright
Daddy, I wish I could know
what color you want

I wish we could love one another

Memaws Color (By My Daughter, Kimmy Holmes)

We ALL have color
yes
our color will fade
We accept this
Not dissapointed

For a Few it must be
Our color is set free
Leaving our stain
Till our loved ones can join us

Vote (By Kimmy Holmes, My Daughter)

I will vote
who shall it be?
Who will make a difference to me?
For my country
I gave a few years
Not my life
Now my tears
My soldiers, they deserve
my thoughts and prayers
I will vote
and hope not to error.

Sherlock Holmes

If Sherlock was sleuthing today,
the baddies would groan in dismay,
to prison they'd go,
remorseful, they'd know
that (fictional) crime doesn't pay...

A disastrous sunflower,
Poe is hour after hour
now studied the way a murder is
by Alfred Hitchcock or Sherlock Holmes
long-lived even in death, 
he suffers in hell 
through our eyes on the page
and our ears thereafter.

Kims Color (My Daughter, Kim Holmes)

Kim please stop
please feel your heart beating
Look at the bleeding
under your skin
look at the lack
of your water
look at the thing about your waist
look at your lack of color

WHO was the dastard - Moriarty again?
WHAT was the reason for kidnapping Watson, my friend?
WHEN did Moriarty strike?
WHERE could Watson be?
WHY is Moriarty always instigating dastardly deeds?

Mamas Colors (By My Daughter Kimmy Holmes)

your love so fragile 
made of glass
shatterproff
against my selfish grasp
glass now cut
cut so perfectly
gives me color
with every suns beam
Mama, your edge
is so very sharp
but I reach, protected
by your warrior heart

Love, Kim

He's my wildflower

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!

Mr. Baskin

He's there, wheelchair
Hair combed, skin sweet
Like he's goin to church
But came to see me
And his woman, so dear
Always so near
I have moments I could fall 
Against this proud man 
But sturdy, trustworthy
Instead my hand
