Meath Writers' Circle/ An Tobar Poetry for Pleasure Group~ Poetry Get Together

 Meath Writers' Circle/An Tobar ~ Poetry Get Together!

Reflections of a Scottish Christmas by Johnny Cunningham led off the night at the first meeting - via the internet ~ of the above groups (Google Meet) the piece was read by Leona Rennicks and she was followed by Carol Owens who read her own poem, Winter Solstice. Jim Owens read a piece by Pam Ayers, Good will to all Men - Give me your Money. Taking a cue from that James Linnane read, The Up Side of Down. Jim Owens came back in with, A Christmas Childhood, a piece he composed himself. Sean Reilly read a poem by Muriel Spark, The Three Kings followed by Leona who read Winter by Tommy Makem. Carol Owens then read another of her own compositions, A Cabin in the Woods. Verona Pentony read her own poems Christmas Spirit From Reflections Of Time and Angel on the Christmas Tree also from the same book. Christmas Eve by Ruth and Celia Duffin was also read but my notes are not the best so I can't remember who read it. Might have been Leona. James Linnane read Still Breathing his own composition and I followed with Stopping by Woods by Robert Frost. Sean sang us out with The Old House.
