Your poem is great Marian, it takes some getting used to but you will sort it I'm sure.

If only I could use the comp,
As you would have me do
I'd send in lots of lovely verse
That really would please you

I'd try and try with all my might
I.d mind my Q' s and P's
Would try to make you happy
Unless you're hard to please

However as a new girl here
I'll try to please you all
So don't blame me, if you don;t like
I'm heading for a fall Marian

appreciate what you're sayin
But I'm afraid I will decline
because the way my prose work
I don't always stay on line

Now I can thank you for your interest
nah you really didn't care
Oh shit that bloody cat
really should not be there

Now I could write a poem for him
or maybe just some prose
but trust me he ain't worth it
he;s about to be a rose

Keep Smiling,

When you are in the dumps a smile soon changes things.
Can you resist a smile? and the joy it brings
Lifts the burden from your heart
Makes your sorrow all depart
Button up your frown and smile
Then pass it on

Smiles were never meant to keep,they must be passed around.
They are terribly infectious..lots of them abound.
You must share them day or night,
You cant keep them.that's not right
They will cheer and bless another
Pass them on

This old life can be quite grim, so keep on smiling.
Even is your heart is sad, keep smiles surviving
Smiles were meant to give away,
Brighten up anothers day
While you're sharing, you.ll not lose.
They'll pass them on
. Marian Hunt

Helo everyone, I have just come across your writing group and would like to join you if I may. I have missed the writing group so much that I belong to
when living in Cornwall..Am now back in Chelteham Will you please let me know the type of material you use,,ie serious humerous, prose poetry etc
When I returned I tried to find a group but the only one was nothing like my former group and so I would be interested. Must let you know one thing .I
cannot get the hang of finding and using these chat groups I will hope to find my way back ..Marian

Hello Ladies :))

Just got in.

Oldbean , Sylvia and Island and Tricia.I will PM you with some details, and hope you will consider joining us :)))

We ARE all very friendly, and though some have met off the board, most don't 'know' each other...and we're certainly not cliquey...that would be disastrous for a writing group...really, everyone is very welcome as has been said :))

Now now Oddbean and Sylvia.

How are you going to get to know anyone if you don't join in? That's what it's all about, finding common ground and getting to know each other.

Go on, give it a go, or you'll never know :-)))

PS don't be intimidated by other's writing either, we have some very talented individuals in the group, but that's the point, we are all individual in our preferences, style, strengths and weaknesses, and the main aim of the group is not just to showcase our work, but to learn from each other and improve in our craft. We're all on a learning curve.

Good Afternoon everyone,
Rose just wanted to say I can't join the group... why you ask? well I can barely write my own ruddy name,utterly useless I am..LOL
Plus I completely forgot there was a writing group!
Those of you that are good at it should give it a go though,I'm sure you all have fun.
Love to all

Why not just give it a try? you can always drop out again. The format is not rigid, we write one or two pieces a week, some write poems, some prose, some short pieces some long. Sometimes we have a set topic, sometimes free writing. It is all done by private e mail (not PMs) and none of the writing is put on the boards. we offer each other praise and criticism. The first thing Rose will want is your private email (sent to her by PM), you can then receive an example of our writing, the next lot goes out thursday if we have anything to send.

Hello Oldbean and Sylvia, you would be very very welcome to join the Group. We are very kind, non judgemental and would be delighted if you could join us! We are all in the same boat! Rose will fill you with the details when she comes online.

Bravo!! BC X .
