Today is a particularly special day in the #WeAreThePoetsDonegal series on Donegal Daily, in association with Poetry Ireland.
Throughout April, we have been sharing daily poetry by established writers from across the county.
Today is Poetry Day Ireland, so we are giving you a double dose of features! Visit the site again tonight for a second feature with Gerard Beirne.
Today, why not take a moment to read and enjoy…
