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!

Our New Member
This is Mr Boots, Puss to his friends! He joined us at our last meeting at the Prince Albert Hotel in Gawler. I'm hoping he will continue to be a friendly face at our meetings.
If you'd like to have him in your home for a week, let me know at the meeting, and you can take him home with you. Make sure you bring him back though!
We had fun writing short stories last Thursday, using some interesting bits of writing as our story prompt. These 'bits of writing' were something I'd never heard of, that were emailed to me by a friend, Jocelyn. They're called a Paraprosdokian. Apparently Winston Churchill liked them. That may or may not tempt you to give them a try.
I was certainly inspired by the two I chose, my story flowed along very easily. I'm happy with my story, and I look forward to hearing the others again, when they're properly finished off. Another very pleasant afternoon of friends and words.
