Thursday 11th        Poets’ Corner

In May we had a fruitful meeting describing poetically different "objects" like a peeler, a piano with a photo on it, a

pan, an old bicycle, a watch, an ancient tea box.

Our last meeting this season in June is on Thursday 11th June at 3.30pm.

Topic: free choice of a topic. You write a poem and find a poem with the same
