Well, at our meeting yesterday, we were missing a member, but we had a potential new member arrive. She hasn't handed in for membership form or membership fee yet, but I certainly think she'll be coming back!
We had fun again, and some of us read our homework from last week. We all seem to have had a good think about the books we read way back when we were kids, and it was fascinating to hear what books members remembered from when they were younger.
We did a writing exercise too, one from the wonderful book 'Poetic Medicine The Healing Art of Poem-Making' by John Fox - many many thanks Colleen for passing that one on to me! I feel like Colleen was fated to find this book at the Gawler Community Centre, so she could pass it on to me!
We talked about how our 'Fairy Story Twisted Sideways' is going - we've already received an entry! I've been getting emails every day from people wanting more information about it, and I'm getting even more excited about it.
I hope we get hundreds of great twisted fairy stories to choose from, to put into our collection! If you'd like to know more about this competition, feel free to send me an email about it jeebers@aussiebb.com.au
In the beginning, there was a poetry group - Adelaide Plains Poets Inc.. This group grew and prospered, until... one person left, another person left until there was only one person left. That person, though saddened, wasn't destroyed. The group had been set up to further poetry, and further poetry she would! She continued the poetry competition, talked about poetry, attended poetry events, wrote and shared poetry... Then along came a project - Adelaide Plains Chapter & Verse!
