A Blog-gem from Donna
Donna sent me a poem for the Summer Poem Swap. She explained, "Words were taken from your blog and put into Tagxedo for the image. The finest words in that Tagxedo were then carefully hand-picked to concoct this poem (and its title 'Collection Poem Revealing Itself')." Donna decided to call her poems crafted out of blog words "Blog-gems."
Love this— thank you, Donna!

ReplyDeleteOoh -- May seahorses and June dragons! That's a zodiac I could get behind. Tabatha, I love how the Tagxedo looks kind of like a brain (I know it's supposed to be a quote box, but I saw brain and brain stem!)
