Only about five people actually came to this meeting; the smallest one yet. Of the few who did, two were new to the club. Only Hutch was there to supervise.
Hutch started us out reading several of his poems and discussing the themes and shifts that conveyed the emotion in them. We agreed that the strongest point in a poem is the shift in tone. (Tell Hutch to share his poetry with you sometime, btw. It's pretty awesome.)
After this discussion, we turned to our own writing. Hutch showed us a picture of a girl and a boy skipping rocks, with a one-sentence story beneath it about the third rock that came skipping back. He asked us to write about the picture without actually mentioning what was going in the picture. It was a challenge, but several people wrote poems or short stories to the prompt. I wish I could remember them but this was more than a month and two weeks of vacation ago. Hutch's was about domestic violence. And one of the newcomers wrote a poem. And Dan wrote a poem.
By this time, our time was up, and the meeting ended.
But seriously. Nag Hutch about his poetry next time you see him.

He needs to post his poetry up here. That would be totally awesome.

I haven't been able to make it due to the musical and talent show rehearsals, but hopefully I'll be able to make it to the next one.

Yeah, I had been wondering where you had been. It's good to hear you're not quiting CWC.
