On a weekend of equestrian magic, a little more of it and from an entirely different source and from a lady who needs absolutely no introduction. Loaded by FanshakiraLyrics and with thanks.Writing poetry from an early age she is one of the world's leading performers and a visit to Youtube or Wikipedia to research her career or background is a must. Enjoy!
The next meeting of the group takes place this Thursday night coming the 3rd of April at 6.15 pm in Trim Library and all are welcome to attend. So whether you're a poet or storyteller, singer songwriter or singer, then why not drop in for a while. W'd be delighted to see you. All the best!

When he was three years of age he was sent to live with his uncle who ran a school in Talbots Castle in Trim, County Meath and by the age of thirteen was said to be fluent in ( 15 - 13 - 12) languages. Depending on your source. His uncle I believe schooled him for a position in the East India Company. However fate or whatever would have different plans and he is best remembered today for his eureka moment along the Royal Canal. I leave it to you to read up on. In my humble opinion what really defined him as a character was his relationship with Catherine Disney and the trauma of their break up. The above video was loaded by Trinity College and with thanks. He wrote poetry as well, though I have never attended a reading where one was recited and his friend Wordsworth kindly suggested that science was a better direction.

Loaded by 'Pearls Of Wisdom' and with thanks, this one has any number of comments and a visit to Youtube is a must. Emily is one of America's greatest poets and she could capture more in a few lines than most in a page. So; something for the weekend and St Patrick's day. Enjoy!
