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!
Collection Poem Revealing Itself
by Donna JT Smith
January hands
Hug the sculpture

Cover the last

March birds
Follow the thoughts
of winds -
April poets
Spotlight the art
of words -
May seahorses
Trust the music
of water -
June dragons
Break the myths
of balloons -
July fish
Make the ballets
of sea -
August gardens
Challenge the world
of paintings -
September students
Listen to gifts
of books -
October cats
Visit the exhibits
of luna -
November military
Honor the places
of warriors -
December gifts
End the year
of sweets!

What a cool idea! Great job, Donna. :)
This is just TOO clever. Bravo, Donna, and thanks for sharing, Tabatha. I am so intrigued by those May seahorses and October cats.... :0)
Wow--what a creative and wonderful idea, Donna. Love these gems.
Well done.
Ooh -- 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!)
What a neat idea!! The images created are so cool!
A gem indeed! (both the poem and your blog!!)
Such a cool idea - just love what creative people can do!
OMG! What a fabulous idea, and a great resultant poem. I'm also drawn to

Now this is absolutely gorgeous - loved June's dragons, the March birds, and September students (because i am a geek that way). :)
