A Flow of Words - ‘My Humble Abode’ Part 1

We have stories and poems from the heart and the hearth.   

Peter Martin seeks tongue in cheek forgiveness for suppling contra-band fuel for the ‘Hearth of the Home’. 

Anne Deroe paints a picture of a bustling family home brim-full of creativity in her ‘Humble Abode’.   

Mary Pooley ‘On Hearing the News’ considers those displaced and Patricia Donnellan’s poem ‘Under the Eaves’ is for the departing swallows and humanity at large. 

Arthur Watson’s poignant poem brings us full circle to ‘Home’.  

With music from Sam n’ Ash, Seamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta,  Ger O’Donnell and Maria Ryan and Ryan Sheridan
