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.

A Winter Birth

Feeble foal spilled into frosty morning
Patient mare melts icicles m they form
Strangely the stables had no warning.
White tipped grass and glinting frost
Sun shines fierce from its blue awning.
Grey church tower lit with ice
Black trees powerless against its burning.
Mare unsurprised, quiet and calm
Foal twists his neck to see her, yearning
For the warm cocoon lost in his borning
As hunger strikes, shaky legs grow firm
With milk he feels his first strength churning.
The mare accepts, then walks on ahead
Unmoved, resigned to a new life's dawning.
