Now the poem is beginning to reappear, we’re hearing about new clues.
Sounds like Line 2 will suit you outdoorsy types. Or try Line 12 if you are happiest curled up with a book of poetry.
Line 7 found! February 8, 2010

We’re over the moon at Hunt The Poem HQ this morning — a second line has come in within minutes of the first. Margaret Forrest had a weekend of culture and discovered line 7!
All grown to be healthy, all but my son
You can still hunt line 7 yourself for fun, but the prize has gone! Try another line instead?
Line 8 found! February 8, 2010

We couldn’t ask for a better way to start the week — a line of the poem has turned up safely! The Forsyth family and Alan Wrench searched a certain location just outside the city centre and discovered line 8 in a bottle!
Then my guid sailor man died, in foreign lands
You can still hunt line 8 yourself for fun, but the prize has gone! Try another line instead?

This morning we hear that poem hunters are closing in on Line 6. But you could still get there first — grab your camera and join in!
Or if you would rather Carry a Poem through the post, check out the new clue for Line 10.

A clue has turned up about line 4 of the poem. We can’t make any sense of it. Can you?
Do leave a comment if you have any ideas.

It’s February 1st and we’ve had the first clue to a line of the poem. Get out there and get hunting! If you find a line, bring it safely to the Poetry Library as quick as you can.
If you want to do your research first, read about the last owner of the poem, Elizabeth Galbraith.
