Siskiyou Writer’s Club Encouraged Its Members To Write Both A Story and A Poem

The Siskiyou Writer’s Club meeting at the YMCA last Thursday was a great success.  Normally the club encourages its members to write and read a story.  But, for its April meeting, members were encouraged to write stories and poems.

Based on true facts, Carol Amaral’s emotional poem, “Mama, Why Did You Leave Me?” was selected as the club’s favorite poem. 

Don Janssen’s stories are always imaginative, and usually defy being pigeonholed into any specific genre or category.  The club’s story selection for April, called “The Rosy Metamorphosis,” is no exception.  It can perhaps be classified as nostalgic whimsy with an overlay of unabashed craziness.
