Tuesday Poem: Tuesday Fragmented (or Treasure Hunt)

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...

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.
