Sage’s (and Sally’s) Bookweek Adventures
Wherever I went over the past month, Sage came too. She loves getting out and about. Today, we went through our photos and made a little slide show of our adventures. Enjoy.
It’s only 11 months till next Bookweek. Can’t wait

I’m Baaack!
My apologies for the lack of regular posts this past month. Bookweek hit me! And, in author-land, Bookweek is rarely just one week – and, in fact, for me it’s been four weeks, visiting schools and libraries in regional Western Australia, metro Perth, as well as Townsville. I also presented at the ALEA/ACMI State Conference in Melbourne.
I’m back at my desk now, working hard on caching up, and there will lots of new posts in the next few weeks. It’s great to be back.

Poetry Friday: Family Hound
It’s Poetry Friday, and I wanted to share my latest Poetry Tag offering. In case you’ve missed my previous posts about Poetry Tag, it’s a blogging game I share with my poet friend, Rebecca Newman. We take it in turns to give each other a set of words which must then be incorporated into a poem.
The latest words Rebecca gave me were:
As soon as I looked at the words I had an image of a spotty dog slipping and sliding around. This is the poem I came up with from that image and those words:
Family Hound
I am Spot
Dotty hound
Grotty hound
Sometimes tangly
knotty hound
I am Spot
Slippy hound
Yippy hound
Sometimes wet and
drippy hound
I am Spot
Leapy hound
Creepy hound
Sometimes tired and
sleepy hound.
I
am
Spot.
(Poem Copyright Sally Murphy, 2016)
Now I’m off to think up some new words for Rebecca. Have a great Friday. You’ll find the Poetry Friday roundup at To Read To Write To Be.
