Only 5 met at Phyl's today to swop poems about Spring. The sights, scents and sounds of it came in through her french windows from the beautiful garden. No wonder poets find spring such an inspiring subject! We think we know all the poems about it, then someone bring a new one to surprise us. Thank you all.
Next month we will meet at Myra's on WEDNESDAY April 25th 10 till noon. (We have changed the day to accommodate the DIY DISCO on Fridays.)
Subject: Weather, any aspect, interpret as you wish.
Please note, most of us belong to Hanger Farm poets too.
So 2 days after, we will be performing in their evening show FIRING ON ALL SYLLABLES
Only £4 a ticket from Hanger Farm on: 8066 7683. Do ring'n'reserve.
This time we shall use microphones, so every wonderful word will be heard!
And Kitchen Sync's exciting and moving singing will again complement our poems.
All welcome
Myra M.

Poetry report
Met at Myra's on Friday Sept 23rd for the subject of Harvest. Old loved poems and newly written ones gave much pleasure to we three who made it to the meeting. As always, fresh insights are brought to well known words by another reading them. Sometimes singing them too!
Please note some of our group will be performing at Hanger Farm next month so here are the details:-
The unforgettable date 11.11.11 is a Friday Time 7.30 till 10pm. Hanger Farm will be set out 'cabaret style' with tables and chairs. Drinks hot or alcoholic, from the bar next door/
A cast of dozens (published authors and amateurs) will perform EAT OUR WORDS a poetic menu of music and verse.
We intend a relaxed mixture of serious work with lots of humour and wit and some lyrical stuff to amuse, move and delight you.
Music comes from Three's Company and Kitchen Sync two local groups who sing unaccompanied.
All performers are unpaid. Tickets are available at £4 each from Hanger Farm Box office: Ring and reserve on 8066 7683.
This cash is to cover the hire of this beautiful little theatre.

Poetry report for May & June
May 27th was a fine day but we were lashed by wind and rain, hurricanes, here and abroad, and generally explored the powerful subject of storm in song and speech.
Last month's "seam" was even richer, being all aspects of womankind. Poets and lyricists have written about women's wisdom, mystery, strength and self sacrifice in such quantity that we had to include more irreverent poems poking fun or being downright vicious!
The morning was most entertaining but we felt we only scratched the surface, so will revisit the subject later.
Next month's theme will be on the board at U3A meeting. We will meet at Myra's 10 till 12 noon.
