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.

Ink In The Veins

I view computers with a luddite scorn.
This generation doesn't know it's born.
The thrill of writing words down never fails me.
It is a cure all for whatever ails me.
A few sheets of blank paper and a pen
to start the day with and i'm fit again
to face the hazards of the world. Don't think
to transfuse me with blood, just give me ink
in an emergency; it pulls me through.
Black's best but at a pinch then blue will do.
My fountain pen connects to hand and brain,
fits in my bag, can't be used on a train.
It snugly feels just like a part of me
and ink flows from the very heart of me.
