Seamus Heaney

I so agree.
I don't like all of his poems, but some are just wonderful.
I'm a new person and
sorry !
I haven't worked out yet how to do links.
So, just to say that the Seamus Heaney poem I love best is the one called
Digging
It ends
*Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests
I'll dig with it*

Sorry - I wanted to put the quote in italics but the ^^ thingie didn't work . . tsk
Oops , now the bold isn't working. .
I give up

Don't give up BerlyBee this is the nature thread, and remember the spider trying to spin its' web! Well there you go, keep at it.

Blackberry Picking is my favourite Heaney poem.
They are just about starting to turn in my garden, and they always make me think of this poem.
