Beyond Rhyme brings 2 old friends together to share and discuss their poetry in a supportive environment that welcomes listeners and guests submissions. Johnny: Poetry for me allows me to scratch down between the lines the spectrum of emotions the reality of life brings. Some lines give me refuge, Some provide escape. Some are written with hope and ecstasy, Some are scribbled in disgust & disbelief. But all support me process the world as I move through it. Eddy: I found poetry to be a very useful way of expressing original ideas ant thoughts and feelings.I always felt better handwriting with a pen as more feeling and detail came out. The poetry groups I later joined were supportive enough to give me the confidence to share my poetry.I aim to keep writing and getting the written word out there! If you would like to submit your poetry or be part of the programme contact Johnny and Eddy at info@plainsfm.org.nz Beyond Rhyme is broadcast on the second Saturday of the month at 9:00pm
