I joined Poetry Plus in July 2017 and a more welcoming group and pleasant atmosphere one would be hard pressed to find! The focus is on reading poetry, pure and simple. The October meeting gives a good idea of the eclectic material that one can expect to hear. As well as attendees having the opportunity to read their own work there were pieces from such well known names as Sir John Betjeman, Mya Angelou, Pam Ayres, Yeats and W H Auden. Themes covered such diverse material as homelessness, the countryside and Bruegel's Fall of Icarus! Several readers also took the opportunity to read Halloween themed poems. If you can, do give Poetry Plus a try. A warm welcome and stimulating evening await!

Touching and true in its evocation of how happy times from
the past can return without warning to refresh our often
tried and tired lives. Like the poem itself, the realisation
rekindles hope for the future.

it is one pain in the butt having to pay taxes Ankita and the other is what our hot air blowing so-called representatives spend it on as in a soon to be white-elephant aircraft carrier Putin described as " a nice big target" what does that tell you? Thank you. Jemima.

JC meets JC - and walks the line to another slice of chuckle
inducing parody. Mourinho certainly seems to be slipping
into Scrooge mode lately and needs to lighten up! Even
his newly bought players are starting to look as miserable
as him even when scoring goals. No names, no packdrill!

Comment is about Drinking About You (blog)

Original item by Henry Clydes

Thank you for your observations and kind comments. I like to write about things that are either dear to me or cause me some concern. Heritage is especially important to me. So is nature. Continually treasured buildings, structures and landscapes are destroyed without consideration or sentiment. I was recently in Barcelona and pleased to see that the old bullring (Las Arenas) has been preserved and given a more suitable identity. As bullfighting became increasingly more of a concern, this architectural masterpiece could have been lost... but now it provides leisure activities, performance venues, shopping, restaurants and much more. You also get a wonderful panoramic view of the city from the roof. So with a little imagination.........

kinda like these to-the-point short poems - like mini boxing bouts or spoken-to-camera narratives in old movies. Sort of film noir(ish). You're definitely not broken if you can write poetry and post it online! Col.

My mom always told me only guarantees in this life are 'Death and Taxes', which thinking of it now would be a very befitting title for a poem which you may have inspired me to now write. Always enjoy your work.

I think of the Euston Arch and its vandals - many gasometers too; and these quite graceful impressive structures have been coming down in many places recently - an apparent embarrassment to local authorities. Homes will spring up like toadstools in place of oaks of course.

Nice piece of writing J.R.
