The Poetry Bus has been one heck of a journey so far. Set in motion by this man back in September of last year the online Bus shows no sign of slowing down and every week a whole bunch of us write a poem to the same theme or directions (different folk sometimes but there's the spine of a team always). There has been a lot of fun and learning and stories along the way but I think the poem Niamh Bagnell came up with this week (to the prompt 'write about blog word verifications') is one of my favourites so far. Read it here (and if anyone can make her a video for it, well that might just be marvellous...).

Yes Rachel - really it is in a class of its own.
There have been lots of good and/or enjoyable poems on the Bus and ordinarily I wouldn't want to single anyone out for special praise etc. but for some reason this one really hit me this week. It has the magic je-ne-sais-quoi that's for sure.

Could you be the telepathic duck???
Eh?

Agreed, this poem really did have some real magic to it, lovely words, an original idea, and a well-told little story. If the telepathic duck needs a nudge...
Yes, I need a nudge...I think...will it hurt?

Wow Rachel, thanks for your kind words, am genuinely touched. (but that's another story for another time)
what about this telepathic duck business? someone please explain...
Well all this crass ignorance of le duck telepathique fromhundredsof bloggers (ok 2)no names, no pack drill, (Foxo, Baggers)just shows that nobody reads my posts properly ,if at all.So NO, I'm not explaining.But before I gets too indignant I must go back and check if I mentioned Daisy the mystery telepathic duck in the first place. Toodlepips.
Okay so it was Kevin the mallard, but I was close and I should be cut some slack as I is highly medicated and alcoholic.Pippletoodles.
ah, my poor head, of course I remember Kevin... now that you mention it.
just not that quick on the uptake of a week
I've read it now... had missed that one, TFE. School holidays (so more work for me, not less) - my excuse for everything just now!

Every time I venture this way, lately, I feel like I've been overly medicated and got off me own bus at' wrong stop!
Keven the telepathic mallard! Quackers!
It's summer sickness or something. I'm at the point in the long summer break where I'm starting to crave a routine...
