Tag Time
Tag from Sam
Rule 1: Grab the book nearest to you, go to page 56, type the fifth line and
the next two to five lines that follow.
Rule 2: Pick 5 people who love books and who could receive the bookworm
award with honour.
There are no characters in clogs or white starched overalls-it’s not that
kind of outfit.- instead there is Mike who keeps a note in loopy hand-
writing of ‘how you’re getting on’ and you know that if you asked to
take a look, he’d turn over the file and say ‘See, nothing to hide’ show
ing you his palms. There are no secrets here, even during sleep, we tell
in Afternoon Song from Sunday at the Skin Launderette by Kathryn Simmonds
I tag: (while breaking rule 2 ; ))anyone reading who fancies doing it - let me know and I'll go read it.

Hey Liz, just dropping by to say hello.Re-read those poems in Magma and really liked them -especially 'sing me a sort of Lily-the-pink song'
Yip, me again just been going through some of your blog.Magma, stinging fly featured poet AND the Oxfam calendar! That's pretty impressive stuff,I can't believe you won't get your first collection published-any news on that front?
"...cious, and you can tackle one box at a time until the job is done.

from ORGANIZING FROM THE INSIDE OUT by Julie Morgenstern
Before you think I'm a total nutcase in my "closest book" ~ I had pulled this out the other day only HOPING to read a bit and gather strength to do some organizing around here!!!
Only sharing this with you 'cause I've never played tag before! :-)
TFE, thanks for digging out my stuff and reading it! ; ) I have a manuscript out with 2 Publishers at the moment but in these times of recession and Arts cutbacks - it could be a toughie...also with me living abroad, they could doubt my ability to get the book promoted and out and about in Ireland...anyway, sure I'll just keep the head to the poetry-grindstone - nothing else for it! ; )
Oh and while having a look through the Summer SHOp, I came upon your poem 'Pictures and Postcards' and the accompanying photo...a coincidence or what! Great work...keep at it. I'm getting a poem published there some time in the new year ...looking forward to that...
BFS - thanks for joining in...was amused by your lines! ; )
Hi Liz,
Consider me tagged!! I will do this tomorrow on my blog!! The sand dog is amazing, and no clean-up after him, I am enjoying Bundles too. Missing you in the 30:30. Sending you a very big hug.

Brenda, hi,
Will look out for your tag.
Couldn't keep up with 30:30...a bit too busy now...maybe later...am still reading all of you though. : )

I have seen this tag a lot lately! I would participate...but that would require that I have a book near me!
Oops, Lorie...; ) and thanks for the drop-by!
Here's mine:
...se abren las campanadas.
En le torre
amarilla,
cesa la campana.
El viento con el polvo
hace proras de plata.
Nice one, Sarah. Thanks.
