We have shared ideas, supported each other, and produced some great stories and poems, both whimsical and deadly serious...and speaking of deadly serious, the group held our end of year dinner at the Prince Albert Hotel and we presented our first ever award on the night.
The lucky recipient was our lovely member Marilyn Simpson for her deadly serious poem based on the famous line 'It was a Dark and Stormy Night' by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.

Dark and Stormy
'It was a dark and stormy night
A night for staying in
The chairs were soft and comfy
They’d just had their din.
A knock at the door went un- heeded
The TV was too loud
Such a funny sitcom
Entertained that merry crowd.
Off to work in the morning
What’s that upon the ground?
A cold dead body of a girl
Stabbed, tied and bound.'
I love it! It's my kind of creepy twisted ending! Congratulations Marilyn! Well deserved.

Marilyn is a nice lady, really, it's just these things sometimes pop out of her head, and get scribbled down on paper!
ReplyDeleteI know the line "They'd just had their din" was the element that sealed the win!

ReplyDeleteJust having had your din, leads a person to friendly feelings toward others!
