Hello

It's me again.

Do you remember me telling you that July was all about rhymes and poetry?  Well today I'm going to give you a website that you might want to check out.  It's the Poetry Library in London.  As well as everything you would expect from a poetry library you can also write a virtual poem on their website (by dragging the virtual fridge magnets, which contain some pretty random words).  I won't inflict my poem on you though, as you can probably write a much better one than I can!

They also have a "Poetry queries" section where you can ask them about that poem you can only remember one line of!  You can also go to their "Frequently asked for poems" section and ask other site visitors for help in the "lost quotations" section.  This is the part of the site I used when I wanted to see if anyone else knew "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I'm going into the garden to eat worms!"  Despite my mum being convinced that I'd imagined this poem, quite a few people got back to me who knew it and told me the full version, so it does work!

Visit it and let me know what you think - and don't forget to write yourself a poem.

Have fun

Suzanne
