The poetry group is for discussion. We have no format, the content emerges organically from our interest. So a mention of metaphysical poetry results in me, as leader finding a metaphysical poem for us to discuss next time, and a mention of Edward Thomas's Adlestrop leads us to another of his poems and some discussion of his life. We recite bits we remember from our childhood, poems we learned at school, nonsense etc. Gradually emerging, again organically, are poetic qualities like metaphor, simile, assonance, off-rhymes and so on. And so it will go on, following our noses, and enjoying ourselves. The group is small, enough for an enjoyable discussion, but we have room for one or two more.

We meet at the St. David's Centre, Pensarn from 2 p.m until 4 p.m on the second Wednesday of each month.
