Welcome To Our Website

We are a friendly local poetry group that meets on

the third Sunday of each month to read our own

poetry, listen to others’ poetry and talk about poetry.

Meetings take place on the third Sunday afternoon of

the month starting at 2.00 o'clock and finishing at

approximately 5.15. In December we meet on the

second Sunday.

They are held in the library of Orley

Farm School, South Hill Avenue, Harrow, Middx.

The nearest tube station is South Harrow. There is no

access by car from the South Harrow end of South

Hill Avenue. Entrance to the library is by a door

round to the left of the building.

Fancy yourself as a poet?

Come and listen or read your own verse. This local

poetry group started in 1992. Visitors £3.00.

For further details and before coming telephone

Below we will be placing some of our latest verse as tasters.

The Trouble With...

The Trouble With …

The trouble with love, is
it takes sides
too much to one
too little another.
Many get lost in its maze,
to others, a straight road
interstating, zonk, outta nowhere
into everlasting contentment.

How did love start?
Whose name is on the cup?
Where did national love day go?
Was it a sixties thing?
Women always say, I love you, first, I’m told
their cards well and truly on Valentine’s table
and it’s that thing you’re always
expected to say back,
true or not.

Love has sailed past me, many times
smiling, curtsying and waving wildly
besotted from the chrome rails
of a man-o-war, as it passes
in the opposite direction.

But love IS the word,
nothing comes close,
just love.
Then, the eyes fog
and a rose coloured
short sighted nirvana
prances about beside you
like some gormless
morris dancing
Nancy.
