We need your poems for Poets’ Trees 2023!

Money doesn’t grow on trees – that’s something we all know
But Kanturk trees are soon to host a special summer show
The park that is O’Brien street, will soon be magically transformed
Where trees become our ‘Poets’–Trees’, with poetry adorned
So, if YOU enjoy writing, love your poems, words and art
Please send us your creations – we’d love many to take part!
