National Poetry Month - Davydeep


I was really pleased to rediscover this piece recently, it was given to us for Clann Abhainn Cluaidh by (we are pretty sure) local born poet Raymond Friel, it is presented here exactly as was provided to us in 1999, though sadly, it would have been added to since then...
