A Red House Poet's reflection on chocolate and the good things in life in Tuesday's Examiner. Well done Nicholas!

Nicholas Lehane reveals how he woke in the middle of the night one night to a flash of inspiration to write about 'the Good news'. This essay is what resulted form that nocturnal reflection.

David's shortlisted limerick:

Compost Mentis

Homogenized thought is all the rage.
We praise Narcissism at every stage.
We lock up our thinkers,
Let's put on the blinkers,
And jump in the Media cage.

It's a wrap! The article in this week's paper is a hymn of thanks to all those who made the success that it was; the featured poets, the sponsors, the organisers, and the venue providers! Thanks to all of you 🙂 And special thanks to Jim for all his hard graft.

Sunday's Poetry Bus was a magical mystery tour taking in the Ballysaggartmore Towers, Villierstown, Melleray Abbey and the Vee. Soft day, or soft enough to have an outdoor book launch anyway!

Photographic evidence of Saturday night is a bit thin on the ground though it was arguably a highlight, with Anne Tannam, Donald Gardner and Seamus Cashman reading in the large backroom of Rose's West End Bar to a full house. This was followed by an exciting open mic which included Modwords organiser Anna Jordan, Joe Power, Mary O'Donnell, and of course Red House Poets' own Nicholas Lenane!
