Coffee break 11.0.am to 11.15am

Eddy read an amazing poem called ' Where were you '. It related to the destruction of the twin towers in the U.S. It was unanimously voted our poem of the month and is now featured on our website.

A short discussion followed and we all agreed that the poem along with many others by Eddy, should be published in a book.

Nicos read his true story about a girl who had her arm attached to her side due to scalding. “Marie the wonderful.”

John W. Gave a story “A place by the sea.”

Finally I read my poem, “Away with the fairies” although nervously as it was in my usual risque mode. I am pleased to say it was warmly received and I have asked John to include it in my forthcoming book, “Rich Inspirations, Promiscuous Poems and Twisted Tales.”

Our Writing prompt was inspired by Eddy. Write a poem or short story 500 words or so based on the phrase “I Remember where I was . . .” This can be on any topic global or personal.

Happy writing and thanks for those who attended.

Next meeting 10.0.am 15/09/16 at Neos.
