Several months ago, we formed a poetry group. Our goal was to read and discuss poetry and write some of our own, too. During the winter, we met each week at the public library or in one another's homes, but with summer's arrival, we began meeting in the city parks.
Carol and Audene are among the first to arrive.
Donna is the founding member of the poetry group.
Mary Anne is a painter and often brings us something from the world of art.
Pat is our most prolific writer of poems.
To hear Donna read William Ernest Henley's poem, "Invictus," followed by a humorous commentary by Ira Wallach, go to:
Hear Carol read Anna Wigley's poem, "Ground," at:
Each poem gets thoroughly dissected. When we need inspiration for our poems, we often find it in our discussions or in an off-hand remark one of us makes.
Weekly postcard reminders help us stay motivated to contribute.
Sometimes, the poems make us laugh,
and sometimes they make us cry.
Always, they make us think.
The poetry group now has its own blog. Visit http://arspoeticapocatello.blogspot.com
