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

0208 864 3149.



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

Ghosts

Words
are my trade.

They build bridges of thought
and house dreams
to sublet.

They dig up old ground
like a sharpened spade,
turning it over
to catch the light
and let the birds
take the worms.

They can colour a palette
or pitch a tune,
they can pick out a pathway to heaven.

They are sturdy bags
carrying emotion
to tip into another’s
chest.

They are not ephemera,
chance remarks
cast on the breeze
that will blow them away.

They stay,
vibrations in the air,
ghosts peopling inner rooms
that replay old scripts,
roosting
not laid to rest.
