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.

Wash My Sins Away

I'd warned her many times
one item, full wash, full spin
noise alone should have
been enough,
but now, banging for drum heaven
the machine's ghost itself departed.

Just Sunday left,
and from my wet window,
today's future looked stormy.
So I loaded the bath,
soap powder, hot water, and
a week's clothes,
hand-washed all, then tried to
wash the soap out, bugger.

As light bulbs go
this idea shone semi-dim
in a stupid kind of way
that had feasibility.
So Your Honour,
I was pegging out clothes
drenched through
in the height of a rain storm,
to rinse them, yes, rinse them.
when she came home
and said the wrong thing.
