Seamus
Seamus is James in Irish. My Dad thinks that Seamus can see into the minds of grown-ups and find things that they had forgotten they once felt.
Patrick Kavanagh
This is really my Dad's choice. I only know
Raglan Road
, which you can
sing
as well as recite.
The Poetry Zone Links
Lots of information about poetry on the internet.
William Butler Yeats
He wrote a poem about the
Lake Isle of Innisfree
. My Dad's grandmother came from the village closet to that island but I haven't visited it yet.
Robert Frost
He is American, like my Mum. He writes about nature, particularly the countryside near my cousins' house.
Gerald McConkey
Some of his poems are very sad.
