Example Poem

Her Name's Rose, Watson      (Mystique's Mini Sonnet)

When Watson studied art

the students sat apart

in half-circle seeing view

of object they should sketch true.

Today in still life's place

sat a lass dressed in lace

and pink bows each in their place-

taunting smile upon her face.

When Watson studied art

he left Holmes at the start

but as working on a case

a deduction would take place.

One man's work was titled "Rose"

and he sketched her without clothes.
