Stephen Farren, b. Co. Derry

the fragrant orange

continuing to tarry

upon washed fingers

playing on water

almost touchable

sunlight

east wind –

smoke wrinkles

blue sky

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Co. Kildare

brown-green

and tawny lands -

a crow soars above

William Gibb Forsyth, Dublin

storm clouds –

seaweed sways

as the seal passes

Michael Gallagher, Co. Kerry

cloud breaks -

yellow leaves shake hands

with the sun

sudden shower

the bog stitched with

silver lamé

monotonous voice –

blue ink still

carries the sound

Mark Granier, Dublin

Our plane’s shadow on

bright cloud – that other season

travelling with us

Only one figure

moves on the dark mountain, a

twist of rain-bright road

Anna Grogan, Dublin

a touch of velvet

December sky

hanging low

Christmas Eve

blue lights on the trees

outline darkness

June rain

knifing through grass and clothes –

lightning stabs the sky

finches

chirp a high note –

asking, answering

Trish Groves, Dublin

of the billion stars

this one

the dawn-bringer

professor's e-mail...

a man with such a large

vocabulary
