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.

There But For...

It wasn’t Winnie the Pooh
humming quietly to himself,
just a fragmented childhood
simpering to the surface.
He maybe didn’t know
the Inca words he mumbled
with their sprigs of hope
and splashes of gold,
tumbling down his Mayan steps
straight out of Raiders…

He listened
though to what we didn’t find out,
he looked pin-sharp
definitely not one slice short.
His grey gushing moustache
dazzled with Santa Claus charm.
In fact, almost every angle
tainted him Mr proper bloke,
king of the normals,
yet still he shuffled
some micro-waltz for one,
spinning and spinning,
a lone dervish,
on the crowded
pavement of life.
