"Last time we had an enjoyable discussion of poetry and writing, and came up with a challenge for next week. The challenge is to write a mystery. It can be a short story, poem, or genre of your choice. Keep it short. If you can bring copies to share it would be helpful."--meets at the Didymus Thomas Library.
