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.

On Becoming Gregorz Harluk

On Becoming Gregorz Harluk

Hot chocolate, drinking chocolate
hot chocolate, drinking chocolate
chanted Gregorz, in Russian
from that inner advertising space
reserved for catchy commercials.
It felt good, no question
as my new persona
swept into minus five
icing hair, casting me back.
to those Western Siberian days.
Not sure Wembley was ideal
for new life, but I felt younger,
despite forgetting my DOB.
The expected mug shot, not required,
I could be anyone,
I gleamed with tomorrow’s whirled imagination.
A doll’s nest of new choices, each more exciting
I could do, I could try, I could be, but mainly
this dodgy leisure centre card
would give us an extra squash court
for those tricky nights
when your breath freezes
to the walls.
