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.

I'm sorry

I'm Sorry!

I'm sorry! 1 can't write a poem today,
the signs are not really auspicious.
Life's burdens and bothers will get in the way,
so I'm sorry. 1 can't write a poem today.
It's no use complaining, for try as 1 may
the verse turns foul and factitious.
I'm sorry. 1 can't write a poem today,
the augurs are far from auspicious.

I'm sorry 1 can't write a poem today.
It's no use your being suspicious.
1 know that you think you have only to say,
but I'm sorry! 1 can't write a poem today.
1 long for a lyric, like flowers in May,
but my powers are entirely fictitious,
so sadly 1 can't write a poem today,
although you may well be suspicious.

I'm sorry! 1 can't write a poem today.
My mood is too surly and vicious?
The sun is too dim and the clouds are too grey,
so I'm sorry! 1 can't write a poem today,
Please leave me in peace, then, and just go away!
I'm giving up being ambitious.
1 really can't write you a poem today.
I'm lazy ? and surly and vicious.
