Winter
This turned out to be a very pertinent topic given the snow, ice and frost that had been gripping the country. However, in spite of this most of the usual members managed to make it in and we had a lively meeting. Poems by John Clare (February-a Thaw), T.S.Eliot (Song for Simeon), Sylvia Plath (Winter Trees), Ambrose Philips (A Winter Piece), and Louis McNiece (Snow), gave us plenty of food for thought, while Ogden Nash (Winter Complaint) made us all smile. Our next meeting on 7th March will be a free choice and I have offered to give the short talk on Iambic Pentameter that had to be postponed last autumn.

It is hoped that another issue of Tower and Fountain may be forthcoming during the spring or early summer, depending on the number of poems received.
