Hi everyone~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope I am not sending out too many poems in one go. I just figured as they are not as long as prose I could send a few, but let me know if you want me to have a pause !

Sent a pic to Helen and Amanda.

Recieved more today from Ann and Linda and will read them tomorrow.
Really enjoying reading all your stories and some take me back..lol

It' beautiful, Ann, isn't it. I 'did' Yeats for A level English decades ago and it really stuck with me.

5 or 6 years ago I was in Ireland with my family and we went to Yeats Tower in Galway - and I was really overcome with emotion! How silly! But having loved all his writing I found myself in tears at being at the place where he lived and wrote. Needless to say hubby and the kids were snorting with laughter, the soulless so-and-sos....

No. I haven't received a single photo so come on, ladies....PS where are the gents in this group????

By the way, I was naive when I thought I could comment on all your work on the same day, I am drowning in prose and poetry!! I have replied to 4 people, I think, and am on a mission to finish the rest. Don't you all sleep??? I wrote one piece then stopped....Just wait until next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that enough exclamation marks?

Hi Helen, when you find a photo you e mail it to each of us. I assume you have not had our photos as yet either is that right? I can't remember if you joined after we sent them out.

Lovely verse that isn't it? And the last two lines are often quoted.

I am just ploughing through all the posts on this thread to get to know you all better. I am really excited about our writing group!

Photos. Where do we send them or do we send them around to each member? Don't get excited, girls, I haven't found one yet of me that wouldn't curdle your blood but soon the time will come.... what shall I do with it????

Treading on dreams. Who raised this? It is a quote from WB Yeats, my favourite poet, so I was interested.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

W.B. Yeats
