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.

Daily Political Poems on Twitter the funny ones
30 March 2010 (the baby boom vote)
We've romped over the plains
of the fin de steels years,
a horde of Gauls
reaching you on oar zimmer frames
to demand you look after us all.
7Apri12010
Forget about that wretched moat,
uphold the status quo
just focus on the glamour show
and don't forget to vote.
7 April 2010
Election Cycle: Disillusion, dissolution,
desperation, obfuscation, reelection,
prevarication, disillusion
9 April 2010 (MacLennan withdraws as Labour
candidate following rude tweets)
It's easy to deride the emails of McBride
and sweet to expose MacLennan's tweets:
a trend for Labour Scots to tie themselves in knots?
10 April 2010 (Tory tax break to married couples)
Oi Dave You marry cos you good bloke
or you good bloke so marry?
Praps torys snort coke to be posh
or is it they posh so snort coke?
12 April (The election campaign hots up)
They paddle faster in the pedalos,
working up a froth before the tidal wave
can catch them in its trough
along with all their peccadillos.
13 April (Publication of party manifestos)
Line the manifestos up
see how they run
the red the blue the yellow and the green
and all the colours under the sun:
hit do they mean?
17 April: (Icelandic dust, the pathetic fallacy reversed)
Look into the sky's limitless jade:
particles of sand and glass hide unseen
like a forgotten debt waiting to be paid.
