Tag, I’m It!
I’ve been graciously tagged by A-Mum of Nanny’s Nook as a thinking blogger - and am quite flattered by the tag. The idea of the meme is to tag five other blogs that make you think. But the problem is, of course, that I think that my whole blogroll is made up of fantastic thinkers and writers.
So, I’m going to go against the rules.
In a previous post I lauded all those on my blogroll (at the time) and the kudos were very much deserved. But since then, I’ve stumbled onto a few more gems and I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about them.
I realize of course, this goes against the meme - but oh well.
Evan at Traces of Nuts is a young school teacher from down under, who tells the most delightful stories about his life and his students. Tongue is always firmly planted in cheek and whenever I need a lift, I head straight over. He is just a delightful soul and you can never feel bad after reading about his adventures.
Lolly at Lovely Red Rose is like a favorite girlfriend who has invited you over for a cup of coffee and a chat. You never know what she will come up with but you always know that you’re welcome in her bright cheery corner of the blogosphere.
Kim at Good at Getting Better is a staggeringly talented poet. Her words speak to you, as though they are your own. An every-woman with whom you will identify, commiserate and celebrate.
Naughty Heather at Extemporaneous is a very new find for me and I’m loving her stuff. Sometimes funny, sometimes deep, always interesting. Of course, I’m coming back Heather.
Ozy at Ocellus is another new find and I am in awe of his use of language and metaphor. Modern and classic at the same time. His poems will give you pause and make you think.
Dave at Dave the Novelist is obviously, a novelist - but also does reviews of books and movies, is a self-published author and loves baseball (how could you not like that?).
Tom at Philnensia is another new find and a gem. He is quirky, spontaneous and full of love of life. I always picture him with a wide grin and a great idea lingering in the back of his mind.
Robert at Dragon Life is a man who is all about the dragons. He writes about them incessantly and truly loves what he is doing. A true bon vivant who you will find to be charming and fun.
So that is my version of this meme. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve broken the rules. But I really wanted to share all of my new finds and hope you will visit them and love them just as I do.

Dear Sarah,
Thanks! That’s very kind of you to mention me and I appreciate your picture of me, which is the very facial expression I have right now! Yeah! I rarely find philosophical writers in blogsphere, but I’m happy to find you.Take care always!
Delighted,
Tom

Sarah,
I am so flattered and honored - I greatly admire your writing, and sincerely appreciate your mention and your visits and comments!
Heather
heather, i was happy to find your blog. it’s a pleasure to visit and i was happy to tell everybody about it.
sarah
I, too, am honored by your kindness. But can’t I be a little bit crazy and still be your friend
? Thank you girlie. You so nice. Kim
well, aren’t all staggeringly talent poets a little bit crazy? i thought that went without saying. the pleasure was mine.
love,
sarah
I have been a blog bud of the Oz man for nearly two years. He is a damn fine poet and has some of the wittiest comments ever.
i agree whole-heartedly.
sarah
A thousand thanks and a hug or two for my listing on your awsome blog post here- I will get to work this week on my posting.
sarah
I’m very stupid, my last entry is rude and crude, but its comments like these that get me looking through my ‘wunderkammer’ for more. Loved the ‘young teacher’ bit btw
ev,
your wunderkammer is doing just fine. you are a young teacher and i know, a fine one, too. yes, get to work for all your new visitors soon to arrive.
Cheers, mate! as they say down under!
Really appreciate the introduction!
Will have to find a magic dragon to plant you with a big kiss on both cheeks! (LOL)
A bientot!
Robert-Gilles
bonjour mon ami!
i wish for you, so many new dragon lovers that you barely have the time to write about them.
