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.

Birthday

I’m sure someone, somewhere
has a present for me…
and each racing tear
cheering with escape,
glistened her a Birthday chant,
elated as she smiled
through their fall.

The post brought one card,
a month back,
from the mental home,
and it’s spreading feet
clinched the best view
of her tiny, iced room.

Fluttering in-between
window snow flurries,
an elder’s mind grasps at yesterday,
as slowly, a teenage melody warms the air,
rejuvenating some tranquil love affair,
long shackled in the darkroom
of her lonely album.
Around she floated,
bustling on a gust of dreams,
alive and twinkling
from a feast of bygone eclipses
with her Sunday love.
