The Canon, Five Lines at a Time

My Sherlockian limericks were published in The Canon, Five Lines at a Time: A Collection of Poetic Meditations on the Original Sherlock Holmes Tales!

Steve Mason and The Crew of the Barque Lone Star (a Sherlock Holmes Literary Society of the Dallas/Fort Worth Area and a Scion Society of the Baker Street Irregulars) put out a call for limericks this past summer and I heard about it at the ‘Dark Places, Wicked Companions, and Strange Experiences’ Conference. Having never written a limerick before I thought I would give it a try. So I wrote two and submitted them and now they are published! How fun is that!

Aho, Melissa. 2019. Limericks “General Sherlockian” and “A Scandal in Bohemia” in Steve Mason, Editor and The Crew of the Barque Lone Star, The Canon, Five Lines at a Time: A Collection of Poetic Meditations on the Original Sherlock Holmes Tales, 7 & 24.
