Clare McCotter's "The Slate Greyhound" followed up on Tuesday with a poem about live horse exports to China from Ireland. There is some striking imagery in this poem and it illustrates a great love for horses.
Carolyn Cornthwaite's "Clutching" was Wednesday's poem which very movingly talked about the ironies involed in Afghanistan and Britain. The last two lines are very telling
Three rings herald the hope of death
Three shots mark the death of hope
Three shots mark the death of hope
