Baker Street Poem

Rules for the Baker Street Poem:

Each stanza has three lines.

Line 1:                   2 syllables
Line 2:                   2 syllables
Line 3:                   1 syllable and includes a “b” in the word.

You may choose to bend the rules and
substitute any consonant or vowel
for the “b” – so long as you use the same

rhyme, meter, linking stanzas, not linking stanzas, etc.

Panther Lady

“This day
Is wet –
Great!
My love
Is lost –
Grand!”

“Regrets
Senseless -”
groan!

“The clock
Onward
Grinds –
[Until
All time’s
Gone!]

This life
Is just
Grist …
Fine dust
Daily
Ground.”

So says
shaking –
Grace:
Panther
Lady:
“grrrrr!”
