Creative Writing 1


The group meets fortnightly on Thursdays from 14.00 to 15.30

  • We listen to and discuss writings by each member on a topic chosen previously. We are always amazed by the diversity shown in the pieces, all under the same heading but ranging through poetry, fiction and fact. The members attending all enjoy the meetings and find them both stimulating and rewarding.




The River Sow

Blossoms, blossoms blooming bright
Sparkling on banks of brown and gold
Ducks and swans gliding slowly by
Rippling on liquid black

Willow, willow drooping down
How could such a sight unfurl
Blossoms, blossoms blooming bright
Sparkling on banks of brown and gold



Where

Take me where the grass is lush and green
Where the sun shines bright on every blade
Take me where the trees reach the sky
Where squirrels plan and robins fly
Take me where the hills roll round and down
Where each sheaf of corn is living, breathing
Take me where it's peaceful, where we'll have fun,
Where there's never rain to dampen, just sun
Take me where it's beautiful and free
Take me where there's no-one, just you and me.


A Worried Man
Oh man what a shame,
Life passes you by
Throwing no blame
Nor telling you why

Like dust in the wind
It settles to nought
And all left behind
is the worry it brought
