Poetry in Paradise

Poetry in Paradise was

again a delight and wonder to listen to

the poetry recited by talented poets of

the group.

From attending these sessions each month

I believe that I am gaining more insights and

broadening my horizons and scope for what is

possible in the field of poetry. I also enjoy recitals

given of bush poets, for example, Banjo

Patterson and Henry Lawson. These poems certainly

are special from well known poets who had a love for

the outback of Australia.

I enjoyed listening to Marta's poem about words being

like people and harmonise as people do in a

marriage.

All quite fascinating!

Vincent's poem was quite poignant and descriptive about a dolphin who

longed for a distant sea.

I look forward to more Poetry in Paradise meetings next year.

It is also a wonderful get-together where social occasions have

been included this year as with Banjo's camp-fire poetry and

Joan Small's Hawaii -theme Celebration Party.

Best wishes
