Writing and readings from words of the day
We wrote some
great and greater stories with the topics -The poor stranger, Tony and Julia,
The meeting, Three minutes from the greatest. Infusing the crowd. An orderly
rabble. Jehovah. Soaking my feet on my bed. The words reflect the person. Values of the
rabble. The protest. Cooked goose underground.
A great selection of stories covering the topics. The secret. Georgina . Tricks of time. The only time is now. The woman
in the picture. Tomorrow never comes. Long ago right here and now.
Terry – A funny
poem about a Fart collector.
Leonie – The time of our lives.
David R –
Silhouettes.
