Our guest artist Sinead McKenna got the night off to a brilliant start showing all of her musical and singing talents to another packed Abbey Lane last Friday.

Such a hard act to follow but Sandra McDonnell-Hill leapt at the opportunity to point out the irritating 

lean towards pomposity some 'famous' poets persist on expressing through their work. Well said Sandra.

Once again we had a wonderful mix of acts throughout the evening poets, storytellers, musicians, singers comics and 'poems and poise' presented by Thomas Healy at the evenings end.

They were Jacqui Ruddell,Mark Brownlee, Matthew Toner, John Henderson and Jay Rafferty all poets. Peter McAnespie,Steven Butler, Theo Sinton all singer songwriter musicians. John McAndrew storyteller, Matt McCullough stand-up comic and lastly possibly a new genre Thomas with his drawings and odes. 

Along with our fabulous raffle and poetry competition presentation a great night was had and all for £5! Next month's ,June 30th and a new guest artist awaits.

Snobbery by Jay Rafferty

 

A stain glass snout snorts

wet over the town. Contemptuous,

holier than thou, a pedigree of mortar

and sandstone. Like its clear glassed

siblings weren’t hewn in the same quarry.

******************    

Hello by Jacqui Ruddell

“Hello mum,

It’s late, I cannot sleep, 

My heart feels numb

I’ve tried counting sheep

Now you are gone

I message your phone;

‘Wish you knew

I sorely miss you’” 

******************************  

  • 1) HOME ;   by Mollie Maguire

Just Getting Home

Aroma of Sunday roast fills the air.

Laughter bellowing throughout the house.

Witnessing smiles released from faces.

Rapidly wrapped in loving arms.

Scrumptious flavours enrapture my taste buds.

I’m home. 

********************************  

GOOD AND EVIL.  by Stephen McStravick

LOCK UP YOUR CHILDREN

IT’S EVIL WITH A “ D”

DEVIL’S MUSIC.

COTTON BLACK POOR BLUES

JUMPED THE FIELDS AND CAME TO TOWN.

THE RIGHTEOUS WHITE ARE ALL SHOOK UP

AHUH-HUH !

INSTINCTS by John McAndrew

I have two ,

killer and creative.

I must follow one but not the other,

However tempting to kill my brother,

I shall, instead, continue to murder

my mother tongue. 
 

SECOND CHANCES by John McAndrew

In life, love, work, and play

nobody gets a second chance

where first impressions count.

But when that quota’s  filled,

they look below the surface

older,  better informed, wiser.
 

NEIGHBOURS by John McAndrew

Do hermits want neighbours?

Recluses, friends?

Or citizens in solitary confinement , visitors?

If not in this life then in the next,

neighbours in  Hell above,  or Hell below.
***********************************************************************
NEIGHBOURS by Dymphna Ferran 

Neighbours

Mum, did you hear those neighbours next door?

Screaming, yelling, and thumping the floor.

But wait, a thought has come to the fore.

I was once those neighbours next door! 
 
************************************************************************
SECOND CHANCES by Ellen McKenna

A Second Chance

I am lucky to have a second chance.

As a cancer survivor I seize each day,

Try new adventures, push boundaries,

Appreciate the world around me,

And I am thankful.
 
Well done to all our entrants in April. Each of you made it a very hard decision to pick a 1,2,3, and no reflection on your writing as we all know its the participation and not the number. 
Thank you all , Armagh Theatre Group.
