Rayleigh Library Writers Group Blog

We are a diverse group from all walks of life. Our passion is to write; to the best of our ability and sometimes beyond. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday each month, to read and critique our work in friendly, open discussion. However, the Group is not solely about entertaining ourselves. We support THE ESSEX AND HERTS AIR AMBULANCE by producing and selling anthologies of our work. So far we have raised in excess of £9,700, by selling our books at venues throughout Essex.

THE GLORIOUS 12TH

By Rosemary Clarke

Now we'll remember the Glorious 12th
As something other than hunting.
So be of good cheer it's the best of the year
Let's put up the chains and the bunting!
But remember this day will not stay this way
If we're starting to flout all the rules
So let us beware and be careful out there
Or they'll shut down our shops and our schools.
Our Great British life will just end up in strife
If we falter with masks or with paces
If we all watch out we'll give Covid a clout
And come back to our wide-open spaces.
So let's think of us all and we'll have a ball
Let's keep clean the beaches and parks
If we try to care for all creatures out there
Life could really be quite a lark!

Be careful, safe and happy wherever you are.
