]]>This weekend, poetry hunters are closing in on the first lost lines in the Hunt The Poem treasure trail.

We need you to join in!
Head over to www.huntthepoem.com to see how you can take part and perhaps win a prize! New clues are appearing all the time.
]]>We’ve lost a poem. The pieces are scattered throughout Edinburgh. We need your help to find them and put the poem back together.
“Hunt The Poem” is an exciting treasure hunt running throughout February 2010, as part of the Carry a Poem campaign. A certain poem, a priceless family secret passed down the generations, has been broken into twelve lines which lie hidden around the city. You’ll have to search high and low to find them.
Can you find the clues and carry the poem to a safe resting place at the Poetry Library? There are prizes for the first to find each line.
The hunt will begin in February 2010 at www.huntthepoem.com.
