Can anyone recommend any good poetry sites? I've found 5 of the 7 poems so far, using poetryfoundation.org, but can't find the others.

I didn't use any specific sites but googled for the poet's work instead once I got down to a couple needed.

Mind you, I'm a bit stuck now as I don't know what to do next.

I'm hoping I haven't gone wrong but am beginning to fear I have.

I got all but two from The Oxford Book Of English Verse, but had no luck online for the other two. I have now dug out a book of Coleridge from a box under Kingsley's bed and am hoping for inspiration.

I was getting fed up of googling and seemingly not getting anywhere. Got them all now though.

I'm with LA now though - where to go from here.....

Struggled to find the last two - but then got there with help at www.poetry-archive.com.

Not sure what to do now though

I found these helpful to get my list:

http://www.artofeurope.com/poetry/index.html

http://www.internal.org/list_authors.phtml

http://www.everypoet.com/index.htm

http://www.poemhunter.com

The last two are really annoyingly pop-up advert ridden.

The Coleridge book came up trumps,

but my theory as to what to do next seems to have petered out.

I can help with some pointers on this one if needed.

1) Put the quotes in order (according to the list shown above the grid).

2) Look for what's wrong in the quotes that you found in the grid.

3) PM for more hints if needed, but I shouldn't post too much here, even if spoilered, so... give the above a try and let me know if you need more help.

can i check with someone please as the first lines i've got don't quite match

#10 Post by **chazzie** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 6:08 pm

You can check with me - I've just found the answer

#11 Post by **eirian** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 12:14 pm

got it!

Golly, that OH of mine is good! Maybe I should have got him a copy..... (but then, I'd still be stuck!)

#12 Post by **giraffe** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 12:20 pm

No idea what I do after finding the lines. Everything I have tried doesn't seem to work. The film posters even got my husband joining in....that has never happened before

Well I managed to get all the quotes and have found some discrepancies!!!

Tried to match discrepancies by rhyme or anagram and still nothing - what is occurring?

#14 Post by **katsmom** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 3:53 pm

found the quotes, looked up the grid. Put them in order? too many differences?

#15 Post by **katsmom** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 4:25 pm

Doh! How silly to get all but one letter right? then to get it wrong over and over and over! oh well, what's next? Word Chain I think.

Found all seven lines and the discrepancies but unsure where to go next - can anyone give a gentle nudge please?

SparkOut's message above (the one with spoiler text in it) is a good place to start.

p.s. Don't think this is going to be a regular occurrence

#18 Post by **LAT** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:00 pm

Blimey Scurra! Are you going all soft?

Thanks - thought I'd gone as far as I could with SpartOut's hint but realised there was still another few steps - got it now

Well, I have to confess I was tempted to go and edit SparkOut's message so that it said something else though
