Self-Discovery thro Poetry Session

Participants at the Self-discovery thro' Poetry session with Carol Boland, Poetry Therapist, produced this amazing group poem 

Sunday Afternoon

Because you were there

when despair for the world

comes a knocking on the door

she remembers what she is trying

very hard to forget

my dreams have taken the scenic route

so here, lets open those cage doors

undisturbed by roaming, hungry foxes.

Maybe my real mind is telling the truth

I fear for it because it has no defence

calming blues and light pinks

make time to smell the roses

simple things yet special

it’s too cold to lie down

where the wood drake rests.


Participants: Maire, Bernie, Peter, Phil, Carmel, Mary, Edward, Jazz, Veronica, Jacinta, Gerry and Mitzie.
