Scribblers Writing Group New Dates

 The next time the new writing group ‘Scribblers’ will be meeting is:

Sunday November 12^th from 2pm until 4pm.

So make sure to put that in big bold letters into your diaries.

Then the last meeting of 2017 will be Sunday December 10^th.

We have, in a burst of enthusiasm not warranted by the numbers who attended the first meeting, booked further dates that will take us well into the year 2018.

Sunday January 21^st

Sunday February 25^th

All meetings are for the moment from 2pm until 4pm and as we get more members perhaps we can take another hour and stretch it out until 5pm.

Since the first meeting at the Look and Sea visitor centre, I have received more enquiries, so my husband Steve and I are hopeful that the number of people attending in the future will have grown into a warm friendly crowd of poets and writers.

 Another delightful scene caught by Jacqueline Rackham 

The Look and Sea is such a delightful place to meet and is a joy just to take a walk along the bank of our lovely River Arun to get there.  In the Harbour Lights Café on the entry level, they serve all manner of tasty snacks and tempting cakes a well as teas coffee’s and the like.

Misty Drizzle

Soft mist of super fine drizzly rain,

unsure which is more true.

Starting along a woodland lane,

a thousand trees of similar grain,

routinely I traipsed on through.

Most of it hides from view this day

fifty metres in any way unclear,

a shrouded backdrop falls into play.

Clip-clopping riders’ ghostly words say,

invisibly hear them coming near.

Soaked to the skin, cloaked in mist

surrounding landscape lost from sight.

Hat pulled on helps chill desist

gloves un-pocketed for warmth enlist.

Still huge pleasure in midwinter light.

Another Start Point

Hoping to finish what I have started

first imagined when feeling downhearted,

now every day will be the same restarted

should more wisdom have been imparted?

This far from sensibility have I departed,

a challenge certainly not for the faint hearted.

Pray providence does not have me out smarted

though the plan be sound, an idea uncharted.

Start at the pool, then bike and run I darted

is this stupidity or merely too big hearted?

Everything I need each day is neatly carted

time will tell if this plan was wisely charted.

For every action there’s a reaction,

Can I each day advance just a fraction.
