Writers of fiction, poetry, lyrics, screenplays and life stories come from diverse backgrounds. For the past three years a small group has met weekly to write together, offering criticism and support to whoever stopped by. Over 200 different people have dropped by; we learned something from each one of them. Most of the people who found us had already written for years- some even published.

If this is something that interests you, join us! We meet every Wednesday, from 9 AM - 10:30 at the Jesus Center on Park Avenue.

One Hundred Ten in the Shade





When it’s a hundred-ten degrees in the shade, hummingbirds perch on the fence in the spray at the edge of the sprinkler, panting.


A fresh picked strawberry does for your mouth what a good orgasm does somewhere else.

Bean vines grow fast enough to make you hear a giant shout “Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum!”


When it’s a hundred-ten degrees in the shade, honeybees swarm around the leaky garden faucet
.

A frozen water bottle thaws before you drink it.


A light breeze feels like a blow dryer.


When it’s a hundred-ten degrees in the shade, you question the sanity of people who don’t believe in global warming.
