Poetry Festival - A Day in the Orchard

Orchard

Written by Norman Stanier

Writing poetry in the orchard A delightful day at Dragon Orchard at a poetry workshop held in conjunction with The Ledbury Poetry Festival and part of Herefordshire Year in the Orchard.

The day was run by local sculptor, artist and poet David Walker with the orchard input from Chris Fairs of Bulmers and Norman Stanier.

David Walker displays his Haiga

Some of the contributions:

Machines for pruning
do mothers work
I miss her

An apple a day
twenty tons per acre
eat drink and be merry

Not looking for perfection
mouthfeel
tells it all

Flat hidden buds
you grow from
sustainable joy

Warm the rain
share the colour
of my umbrella

I want to give thanks to you with regards to your website. You have a lot of entertaining resources therefore the website is handy. I am a university student in Georgia and I currently have an important term paper due soon. I am having trouble as well as have writers block these days as I am researching. Just need person to guide
me modify the free article I discovered on the web "shooting an elephant" essay. That paper matches my personal specifications however is authored in a poor style and there are grammar problems. Do you consider I should proceed? I am simply just in need of aid, thus almost any tip will be fantastic.
