Hanger Farm Poets' POETRY AFTERNOON


5 U3A members plus a local poet gave a happy performance to an enthusiastic audience.

David ranged from somnolent rural scenes to cheeky funny rhymes.
Pam read beautiful professinal works with her own about holidays and Wimbledon.
Hazelle chose 'The Glory of the Garden' and portrayed a naughty sleepy cat !
Michael gave us the seaside and very funny rules of cricket.
Sylvia read her childhood memories and conjured the sights, sounds and smells of our Steam Rally.
I did Pam Ayres' wicked 'Take me back to Old Littlehampton' and read about a tram ride at Seaton.
Just a few samples of the 50 very varied poems we offered singly, in duos, quartets or all together.
Cool elderflower cordial came with the tea and bickies on such a sunny afternoon ; flowers on the tables matched my poems.
Our thanks to Mike Adams for bringing his fine lectern.
An enjoyable time was had by all 14 of us !
