There’s a plethora of poets in this wonderful podcast. It can be listened on many platforms. I’m in there, talking about how the stunning beauty of Lough Erne gives me a lift in ‘Sweet Spot’. Thanks to the mighty Damien Donnelly for including me. #poetrydayireland #fermanagh

Sometimes, just to plunge,
and dream on the farthest back
towels in the hot press.

Excerpt from John Hewitt's The Day of The Corncrake
Cahal Dallat's book A Personal View, Antrim Coast & Glens
Well I didn't know it was #PoetryDayIreland but here's a wee one from John Hewitt (part of The Day of The Corncrake). Not really in the #MayDay theme but worth reading nonetheless. As found in the book by Cahal Dallat, featuring a bonus map by Johan Blaeu (1654)

My little contribution for #poetrydayireland #poetrydayirl @poetryireland.bsky.social
From Stony Thursday anthology 2022.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

🎶Baby when you finally
get to love somebody,
guess what?
It's gonna be Poetry Day🎶
The 1st of 🎶May🎶 is #PoetryDayIreland. I'm going to share some favourite poems throughout the day, and would love for you to share some of your favourite poems too, or even ones you've written yourself 🖋
A poem called “ Not a Love Poem” on a small easel, on a grey floor on which a map of Sligo is painted.
A poem, on the floor in the Exhibition Hall, Yeats Building, Sligo, ( on map of Sligo!) to mark Poetry Day Ireland…
Bring a poem, recite or read a poem, have a pancake… #Mayday #Poetry #PoetryDayIreland #Bealtaine

“ I must go down to the sea again
To the lonely sea and the sky.
I left my vest and socks there;
I wonder if they’re dry?”
Spike Milligan.
What? You were expecting Yeats?

Ich am of Irlaunde,
And of the holy londe
Of Irlande.
Gode sire, pray ich thee,
For of sainte charite,
Come and daunce wit me
In Irlaunde.
