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.

Tiger, Tiger

Tiger, Tiger

They're burning down the pubs now,
all accidents I'm told,
No petrol cans at twilight
or matchbook fronts unfold,
The George and Dragon bought it,
they paid by breathless fire
The White Hart stumbled closely,
no arrows of desire.
The Rat and Phoenix mingled,
no feathered tales arose
Just carpet cleaned by fireman,
within a smoke of prose
1 watched some sparkling ideas,
unleashed upon Tithe Hill
So sadly on the ground now,
its history lies still.
Their names live on in guide books,
"The Admiral was there!"
Half-Nelsoned into dying,
not aleing, but by flare.
They never catch these Guy Fawkes',
who load the powder high
And whisper to the death of night,
your history's goodbye.
