Erskine Writers Meeting 5th December 2023

Our homework set for this week was to write 500 words based on a piece about something you admired and wish you had written - a book, a poem or a song. We had a total of 10 readings. Sandra R. chose 'The Boy, The mole, The Fox and The Horse' by Charlie Mackesy. Brian chose JFK's inaugural speech in 1961. Irene 'War of the Worlds' H.G. Wells. Sandra M. 'The Lord of the Rings' Rob 'Under Milkwood' by Dylan Thomas. Jackie 'Vincent' by Don McLean. John H 'Garden of Remembrance' by Fish. John S 'Amelia' by Joni  Mitchell and finally Jeannie chose the play by Bill Bryden 'The Ship'. A wide selection again from the group. 

There were two further readings from competition 2. Brian read 'Kissed by a Saint' and John H 'Mosley to Floyd'.

Our final meeting of the calendar year next Tuesday will have festive pies and a selection of our desert island discs.
