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.

Ghosts

Ghosts

Two houses standing empty.
Through dirty panes light breaks,
illuminates bare floorboards.
In the rooms there are no shadows.

On dusty furniture mottled mirrors
reflect nothing.
Not peace but absence.

Once it was different.
Passion, death, tragedy, wrenching grief
tormented this place.
The world mourns those star-crossed lovers.

Do they quietly rest?
Are they at peace?
No.
Through emptiness, in endless silence, go
the ghosts of Juliet and her Romeo.
