Readers, listeners, fellow poets, I have decided to do a "found" poem with all the other Tuesday poems,it's been constructed over the two nights as poems have come in - I'm half hoping there will be a couple more.
(What I said after the first three lines) ok
- I'm pretty sure this is the beginning - but where everything else
fits in is going to be a lovely surprise - I might even have to change
my choices below a little to try to ensure a cohesive whole. What fun!
What I say now: Um.... I'll be back to visit probably to see if I can tidy a few things...

A.J. (compilation of Tuesday poems Tue 9 April 2013)
please note - each line is linked to the Tuesday Blog in which it was found.
PS - fellow poets do not despair - so it didn't quite work as well as planned (all those annoying tenses, made my cunning ruse a little less cunning than I'd hoped.)
but just remember...
do not despair,
Tuesday may be tense, torn, fragmented -
but never forgotten.
Cheers, everybody and have a wonderful week - and don't click on the feather because it's having technical issues - just click on
this link to fly to the Tuesday hub, where a community poem is growing beautifully.
cheers,
A.J.
