'The Poetry Place (June 04)'

Who owned my house? Asks Carmel Mac.
I be here now, You can't have it back.

Granny Marie minds a child
Who seems to me, to be very wild

Nadine declares the spire is fine
She's very good for a child of nine

Thoughts in her head, Ailish has many
For just one I'll give you a penny

So many languages what can we do?
My dear Mary, I agree with you

Jonny and India his love affair
My envy of him is so unfair

Michael cries for war to cease
As us all he just wants peace

Mr Maher's, flowing black vein
Perhaps the Liffey, or our criminal domain

Ease her pain, a pain so blue
Try and improve Dolores' view

Be it gray or be it green
Robert tells of all he's seen

All the poets, so much talent I sense
I do not wish to cause offence.

Arron Noan O'Dythe

'The Poetry Place (June 04)' is based on all the poems from the June edition of NewsFour
