Penny, once you have the book feel free to start us off. I will set up the thread today. I just figured out that my book is coming from the UK and should arrive mid May! I had no idea when I ordered it.

I could copy and paste the selections onto here and you, others, could do the initial commentary, if you like.
Penny ... Any guidance I could offer on matters of poetry would have to be taken with a grain of salt, or less. But I appreciated your suggestion enough to buy the Rattlebag book and I'm now playing a waiting game with Amazon. I see a 'Rattlebag' thread has started, so looks like you have really fired this up!

I'm going up to the shop tomorrow morning. It might not be open because there's a wedding going on somewhere - :wink: but I've got a key, so I'll still be able to go in and get the book.

I'm not going to sit glued to the TV screen, but I will have the TV on all day because I want to see the frock and also the wedding outfits of the guests. Shallow....you see...just a shallow person, me.
