Like a painting, our talk is dense with description,
half-truths, landscapes, phrases layered

with a patina over time. When she came into my life
I didn’t hesitate.

In this poem, where time shifts, Heaney examines the relationship between the teacher and student

And the schoolbag becomes a metaphor for poetry itself - and what an image 'unemptiable as the itinerant conjurer's hat'

There is a darkness beneath this poem by Dana Gioio that is built almost entirely out of slang, idioms, clichés

A poem that climbs towards that ominous final line that nods back to the epigraph

National Cheeseburger Day - I like a cheeseburger but does it need its own day?

But if there is a reason for cheesy beef in a bap to have its own day - it’s this poem

A celebration of humble work as pride, as skill & identity. The pure satisfaction of a job done well

Where are you wandering to, little fools
Come, big sister will teach you how to write verse
Itchy little wasps sucking rotting flowers
Horny baby lambkins butting gaps in the fence.
