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

Below we will be placing some of our latest verse as tasters.

A Kind Of Healing, White Plains (NY)
among the local doctors of the suburb
with his oh-so tailored suits
and suites of clean white rooms
and firm and silver haired receptionist
born and raised in the neighbourhood
in contrast to his strange, foreign name
should once have been
that nervy lanky mad school sophomore
flitting between cuckoo wards
in shoestring public hospitals
befriending patients his own age:
especially the most troubled
especially the girls.
He will not want to remember that now,
not now, in his antiseptic senior years,
All in practice,
his life sorted out with the anaesthetics:
wife, house, grown-up kids.
No need to go back
to tear at the scabs with anxious fingers,
no need now
for him to worry
or the long dead
or their next of kin.
Peter Keeble
