The Autumn season of poetry readings commenced last Tuesday night in Ardbraccan with a theme on "Birds" and brought some interesting contributions that strayed a little perhaps but some great pieces were read. John Quinn's The Blessing of the Bog was the lead off and not one I'd heard before, followed by Eugene Kane reading his own poem My Little Pigs. Blackbird by John Drinkwater was next and Jim Owens read his own piece The Divine Gardener. Staying close to that thread Seamus Heaney's St. Kevin and the Blackbird was followed by Summer and Fall, credited to Anonymous. Many good poems to his name. Creed by Norman Gale was another piece I hadn't come across before and definitely worth a look-see. The Song of the Bee by Nancy Nelson Pendleton was followed by my own Fledgling Accounts and John Sheahan's Autumn and the night finished off with Thomas Hardy's The Darkling Thrush. The next meeting is on Tuesday the 15th of October with a theme on the Equinox or endings or just the time of year. All are welcome.
