Zakia, Shoba, Preeti, Priya by the CYC Christmas tree
The
very last session of 2017 commanded a good attendance. Many of the
poems recited were in the spirit of the Christmas festival. Though
some of the poets selected were performed before in the years of
poetry celebration by our group, the poems chosen were different.
Shoba, Thommo, Zakia, Pamela reading, Hemjit back to camera
Joe
and KumKum were still abroad but keen to participate, and left voice
files in the dropbox that were played at the session for the readers.
Zakia
Priya
who orchestrated the session brought in Christmas plum cake for the
readers, and Santa Claus caps for them to wear while reading. A
Christmassy spirit of peace and harmony descended over the assembled
readers.
Thommo
Preeti,
coming late, made a surprise entry toward the end of the session, but
contributed a humorous and expressive reading of a children’s poem
called Chocolate Cake by
Michael Rosen. You can
hear a snippet of her
delightful enactment of the
poem in an embedded voice
file further down.

Salutations
and greetings to all our readers who have contributed this past year

2018 with relish. Here are
