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.

Soundtrack

The edit plus strings
Perform a sleight of hand
Upon your mind.
You think you've seen
Nude Janet Leigh
Slashed a dozen times;
Slow it down and look again
It's Hitch deceiving us once more.
Scorsese pulls a different trick in
'Raging Bull'; Mascagni
Finds beauty in violence,
La Motta smacks seven shades of
slow –mo black and white
from his opponent ,
and we watch wrapped
at the fling and flail of blood.

In the dark of cinemas
I try to find a soundtrack of my own.
Play the tapes again
with the sound turned down.
I leave; blinking in the light,
Ennio Morricone strikes up.
Nothing is as it seems,
and the horror is hypnotic.
