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.

The Vibrant and the Dying

The Vibrant and the Dying

My mind twists between the vibrant and the dying.
She, bright daughter, flying in
Glowing, exuberant, epitome of life.
And he, grating off the shards of eighty years
Scarcely able to recall he is a grandfather
For few of flying out. His mind
Coils around corners of the hereafter
Scented with hospital smells
Bumping into nothingness
Seeking some light,
fearing the Light And the Dark, and the void.
She lands, smelling sweetly of sunshine
And joy in a tumble of luggage.
He, reluctant, makes his way empty handed
Towards the gate to eternity,
Waving feeble farewells before boarding.
She may just catch the final flutter.
My heart twists between the vibrant and the dying.
