Happy New Year to all Coast Liners.
Our first meeting Wednesday 6 February at 10.30 am. Karen has made suggestions in her blog of some ideas which arise from her poem. So you could choose one word, the lot or whatever and wherever fancy takes you.
Do bring along a poem for our first meeting. It is going to be a great year with the literary festival well under way in planning. I will be able to show you the program when we meet.
Any ideas for our year together whether in outings, for example going to theatre, or visiting speakers etc.
Bring paper and pen to meeting so we can have some fun and creativity whilst together.
The World Is Too Much With Us Late and Soon
(Apologies to William Wordsworth)
The world is too much global now and soon
Acquiring has spread we loose our power
Of this our natural world by lengthy hour
Our spirit cold we now lie close to ruin
Land tired fallow by an ocean full of gloom
Politicians do not promise words now ceased
Too late beached whales no longer any feast
Religions do not matter since left in doom
Love not captured in this airless drought
You sit there and lecture innane words to me
And so we continue to fight and shout
To keep alive in any way we can foresee
Maybe the next of kin will bring new light
So mankind can begin another world with more insight.
