Poems for Spring - in French
Being a creative bunch of members, we decided to write poems celebrating the arrival of Spring (Printemps) in French.
Download and read these literary masterpieces at 202204 - Des Poèmes pour le Printemps
For those u3a members not fluent in French, do try to read them aloud as French is a beautifully poetic and flowing language. Maybe your school French may help a little.
