The theme is - - -

select a poem of your choice
under each line of the poem
write down how it works for you
now take way all the original lines
what you have left - - -

bring with you to the meeting on Monday night

My choice is A Puppy Called Puberty by Adrian Mitchell

must say I have done lots and lots of sexual undertones to this great poem but will bring just one with me!
