We'll Meet Again

Rochdale Writers are finally set up in the new Rochdale Central Library at Number One Riverside. despite it being Ramadan, Kiran and Nisa came to the first meeting at N1R. Inspired by the light installation by Pete King in the children's library they wrote this poem with Ray.

Spiral dancing to a world of skybooks
Reaching the limits of our imagination
Blue and white
Dipping into the river
Helping us begin our journey
Brightening our lives
Like the colours of an
Iridescent kingfisher

There's more to come

Next get together

Rochdale Readers are meeting on Saturday 28th April between 10-12 at Rochdale Central Library. If you're between 5-14 you might like to join us and see what we do

We hope to meet again on the 17th September 10-12 at the newly branded Rochdale Central Library, you may well remember it as The Wheatsheaf Library.
