Abingdon Court Poetry Club

“Writing a poem is discovering” 📝

I present to you Open and Talk; two poems written by those that live at Abingdon Court, friends from St Helen and St Katherine, and Larkmead School. 

With #TimeToTalk at the front of our minds, we explored themes of openness in our poetry club this week 👐

Together, for World Read Aloud Day, we explored;

Enough by David Whyte

Your Shyness is a Strength by Jesse Humann

Live in the Now by Vanessa Hughes Poetry

These were all very compelling poems and we had some fantastic, open, and insightful conversations around them, which inspired us to create our own poems as a group, which you can read for yourself below! 

Join us on our journey as we build our Abingdon Court collection of poems ✍🏻
