The theme for last Tuesday night's meeting at An Tobar was renewal or new beginnings given that we're well into into February now and the days grow long or at least a little bit. The first poem to be read was Reginald Arkell's Journey's End followed by Bulb by Alison Chisholm. A poem from To Bless the Space Between Us by John O' Donohue was read by Leona Rennicks and worth a look go see any day. Tom O' Malley's Spring Cleaning for Friends was next but can't find a reference on followed by New Beginnings by Gertrude B. McClain. De Scripto Meridians by myself was next followed by The Cheerful Season of Spring by Willie G. Hodgins. The Lesson of The Moth by Don Marquis was read by Sean Reilly and don't try this at home! Begin Again the great poem by Brendan Kennelly was next followed by The Chorus of Cells by Peggy Freydberg, a poem written between the ages of 90 to 106. She died when she was 107. January to February read by Willie finished off the night and one of his own compositions. The theme for the next night on Tuesday the 24th of March is emigration - Irish Poet. So that should be interesting. All are welcome and readings are followed by light refreshments of tea or coffee and a few snacks.
