Literature and Poetry: World Poetry Day - 21 March: UNESCO "World Poetry Day webpage"
I am Raftery the poet.
Full of hope and love.
My eyes without sight,
My mind without torment.
Going west on my journey
By the light of my heart,
Tired and weary
To the end of the road.
Behold me now
With my back to the wall.
Playing music
To empty pockets.
-- Anthony Raftery
