Poetry Friday: Em's Song, Take #2 by Carrie Jones
She dances swirling on the staff notes
Beyond the treble clef
Where I'm left watching,
Emmie,
Emmie in a spinning skirt,
Emmie with the notes
All in front of her paying,
playing,
playing
Until the coda,
until it ends,
until she falls
Off te sheet music,
waiting for someone to catch her.
- Em's Song, Take #2 as "written" by Belle, the main character in Love (and Other Uses for Duct Tape) by Carrie Jones

	I heart Carrie Jones. Great choice for today, since Love (and Other Uses for Duct Tape) is officially on sale tomorrow! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Precisely! :) That's one of the reasons I picked it. The other is because Love is the best book I've read all week, hands-down. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, now I've got to read that book. (If the title wasn't already awesome enough.) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	YES! Read Tips on Having a Gay (Ex) Boyfriend first. Love (and Other Uses for Duct Tape) is the sequel. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)
