Inclusion 2013
An anthology of student's poems as part of the
Fermoy International Poetry Festival
In 2013 the transition year students at Coláiste an Chraoibhín in Fermoy joined the students from the other 2 secondary schools and Youthreach and attended my poetry workshops. The student anthology included poems from these students and for the first time overseas students from JF Kennedy High School in Sacramento California.
Hopeful
When you were five
You had pink toys
No one questioned
And no one laughed.
When you will be thirty
You'll have a family
no one will question.
But now you are sixteen
You have secrets
That everyone questions
And everyone laughs
