This monthly gathering meets on the last Tuesday of every month, at The Incubator. (Or in the Jam Factory on our colder months). The monthly meetings are casual, friendly and welcoming of newcomers. You don’t need to recite your own works, or the works of other writers, though you can. You don’t have to follow the chosen theme of that month’s meeting, but you can. We meet, we nibble, we sip, we laugh, we recite.
We simply share the joy of poetry in whatever form we like. From rhyming-couplets, to whimsical tales of our own histories, to daydreams described, to the silliest nonsense you have ever heard, to the social commentary, to the darkest depths of the broken hearts.z
Of an evening, there is more chatter than poetry and that’s the way we like it. Good people sharing a good time, and everyone is welcome. You should come and see and hear it unfold. Like a rolled-up bag of fish and chips. Which you open slowly……
Chips, still warm,
Salted,
Not bitter.
Oh look,
Among the ruins,
I found a potato fritter.
