9 Ardee Street
9 Ardee Street
A home within the city boundaries
Where residents were so kind
They’d drop in for an idle chat
To some a release of mind
As close communities stick together
Helping in times of need
A bond of trust that’s shown by all
In thoughts and word and deed
But alas the wind of change come
And...

Another World
Another World. By/Tony Gorman – Another wonderful poem from our resident poet Tony Gorman
How beautiful our earth is
Away from all its grit
Away from all its mayhem
That some people bring to it
Away from all the killing
Away from evil men
Away from all the wars they start
That never touches them
If...

Katie Taylor/ Truly a Champion of 3 World Title’s
Step up to the podium our Irish heroine
You’ve fought so bravely in your fights time and time again
You pass the pain barrier to reach the end result
And not to recognise that feat is definitely an insult
For the people hold you in their hearts for...
A Time for Change Tony Gorman
A Time for Change. by/Tony Gorman
Our resident poet Tony Gorman delivers this appeal to stop the waste and to consider our environment before it is far too late
Our planets in an awful state
because of humans ways
In time our lives be poisoned
by an environmental killing craze
Of fly tipping and dumping

A time when they all are spreading their seeds
When crops have been cropped...
Nature’s Brushstrokes
Nature’s Brushstrokes
Our countryside’s a melodramatic bloom
Pure poetry within Mother Nature room
Of colours from a painters brushes spray
Purely an extravagant harlequin type display
Of Daffodils on margins that flutter in the breeze
And Poppies and Red-Oxide growing gaily at their ease
With Bee...
Bee advised. By/Tony Gorman 29th June 2018

The Old Chestnut Tree
The Old Chestnut Tree
Under the spreading chestnut tree I pondered for a while
And touch the trunk in wonderment of its roots within the soil
For to bear a weight such as this the grip is deep below
And the water that it feeds on that makes it thrive and grow
And in its foliage small birds nest when...

And touch the trunk in wonderment of its roots within the soil
For to bear a weight such as this the grip is deep below
And the water that it feeds on that makes it thrive and grow

A New Door to Open
I’m sure a lot of people can relate to leaving the home they were brought up in with all the memories it held over the years. I lived in 517 Carnlough Road, Cabra West and I remember years after my parents had passed on and the house was sold I took a trip to Cabra and walked by the house and in my...
A Course in Bereavement
When sickness takes the one’s you love and you are in despair
And grief becomes a part of you and tears are all you share
Bring memories back into your mind of happier days gone by
And share these memories with those who lend their shoulder when you cry
For loved ones who have passed over are never...
