POEM STARTER

Write a poem that has a whimsical mood.

The word whimsical is defined as being playfully fanciful, especially in an appealing way. What kind of language would you use to portray this?

As My Whimsey Takes Me

Sherlock Holmes, Jane Marple, Hercule Poirot

And there’s Dupin by Edgar Allen Poe

These detectives make me grin, see

None more so than Lord Peter Wimsey


Marlowe, Spade, and the Continental Op

My heaven, library or bookshop

Yet no mysteries have I found sweeter

Than curling up with Sayers’ Lord Peter


Erudite, silly, damaged, yet urbane

That love unfurling with Harriet Vane

On a desert isle one book to read on

Anything with Lord Peter Death Bredon


Wimsey, icon of Mystery’s Golden Age

My joy measured page upon page

Puzzles realign a world askew

I love Inspector Rory Alleyn, too
