The small group of
dedicated writers took the words of the day and crafted a range of creative
stories on the topics of Elvis, The performing chef, Glued to his words, A
master baker, He watched through the window, Did he really live those stories, “Good
day viewers” from an ex baker and I went with the flow and it did me no harm.
A yet smaller
group of people who have lots of spare time shared their homework. In particular Felicity and Thelma from Garry read by Cath; New life from Helene; Autism,
colour and art from Terry (an emotional story); The strange man – a poem read
by Jo; Last will and testament from Elizabeth and The golden plume from David C.
Discussion
We shared experiences
about barking dog, speeding cars and trucks and using letters rather than
telephone calls to make our opinions known and recorded.
Terry read a poem
- A simple stare – a sad story of violence affecting families
After many
suggested ideas were rejected, the facilitator the masterful David C chose the topic. The even smaller group
wrote a range of different and sometimes similar stories - I’ll be back later from
Elizabeth, Twilight of the night from David C, Where had she gone wrong from
Cath, Catching up with friends from Helene, On my street Brussels sprouts, fish
& flame throwers fly - a wonderful poem with graphic images from Wendy, How
I met my wife from Terry the Taxi driver and My hidden world from Jo.
Truth is stranger
than fiction
