Sherlock Holmes, Lover of Deduction

Cut-up poetry is a completely new idea to me, for I have never heard of spontaneous composition. This poem is one that I created, and it is based on an excerpt from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Scandal in Bohemia”. This is prep work for poetry educator, mei88fair.

In Baker Street,

A distracting factor which might

Had drifted us away

Those mysteries which had been abandoned

Of the softer passions,

Of his clearing up of his

High-power lenses

But for the trained reasoner,

But as a lover,

In one of his own,

Of his own keen nature

I have seldom heard him.

He never spoke

Any other name.

He felt any emotion akin to

The emotion of my former friend and companion.
