It was the usual Poetry and Writing Groups this morning. I get very involved in these sessions and look forward to them enormously. The tutor of the Poetry group is a Canadian woman who is a recognised poet. She always finds something interesting to share with us; today it was WH Auden, Raymond Carver, Carol Anne Duffy and Liesle Mueller. The poems are not always to my taste but I enjoy the discussions about them. The session finished with a little poem by Ogden Nash:
Consider the auk
Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly,
and could only walk.
Consider man, who may well become extinct
Because he forgot how to walk and learned to fly
before he thinked.
