We were happy to welcome, again, some new faces to the group; Leigh Ann and Nina. Even with the comings and goings of some members, just the curiosity is a mere demonstration of the interest in the this quirky and subjective art form in our area. Subjects ranged from poetry to creative non-fiction.
Margaret started us off with poetry that illustrated a "copper coloured sky", Don described the beautiful Lois Creek forests and their ancient cyclical nature, Susan's poetic & personal piece used Fall "Leaves" as a verb as did Leigh Anne's. Both of the ladies' pieces were unique, vivid and beautifully written. Nicole (me) triggered the sense of smell through the "fall leaves" prompt. Heather did two shorter pieces, one regarding a Fall Leaf found in her Great Grandmother's journal and a second hide-and-seek in the fall leaf piles. Linda told of a woman named "Fall" and her struggles with the politics of South Africa. Marilee did three pieces that couldn't hide a gardener's expertise. Mike wrote, and as always, flawlessly performed, an older style rhythmic poem about the seasons that surround fall.
We're all looking forward to the workshop with Luanne. Please post - what is it you're looking to get out of the workshop? Have your say!
