Margaret, All kinds of excuses from Leonie, A new member from David C, The
mayor from Susan, Bonsai Creek from David R, The press conference from Helene, and
a great poem about The group from Wendy.
The diligent
writers shared creative stories and poems
- A flying challenge from Garry ,
The cardigan from Margaret, Some thoughts home, jobs and living with
fibromyalgia from Leonie, Yoga and being bendy from Susan, In the shadows and
Changes two poems from David R, What can I share from Helene and Music was in
my blood from Terry.
Margaret is
re-reading “A fortune teller told me”, sounds interesting but Margaret was mysterious.
Helene has read “Sex,
lies and bonsai” by Lisa Walker - an interesting combination of themes.
Quick write - Lost and found
We used the
inspirational words "lost and found" from the absent Melissa to write a variety
of short stories as follows. Jo -
People, feelings, creatures; Margaret – a place in time, a new bright day;
Leonie - at the beach; David C – my best man; David R – Forgetful; Helene –
lost in a forest of bonsai; Wendy – taste for music; Lynne – lost my mind; Terry
– jewellery and Cath – finding the way.
In excess - let your mind wander to excess, no not Exeter - although that is a charming place.
