How lovely to not only be able to enjoy a bar of chocolate, but also to have a Shakespeare #sonnet to read afterwards! Fair play to #Chocolove ❤️
Lovely to read my ‘Memorial Gardens’ #haiku sequence (from my new collection ‘Wishing Tree Note’) ‘in situ’ yesterday, at the annual Francis Ledwidge Day, organised by Liam O’Meara & to hear other’s poems & songs. Here’s Ledwidge’s poem ‘August’, which Anúna adapted in the 1990s
I’ll be reading from my new collection of #haiku and #senryu, ‘Wishing Tree Note’ (Alba Publishing), launched just last week. Since it’s #FathersDay, I’ll be reading my Poolbeg sequence, as my Dad was the chief designer of the chimneys there!
Remembering my dear friend of many years, Mamo McDonald, on her fifth anniversary. She was some woman for one woman! Here’s a sonnet I wrote in her memory, which appears in my last collection, ‘Where All Ladders Start’ (2024, Alba Publishing). maeveosullivan.com

This Thursday in The Teachers’ Club in #Dublin City. Join us if you’re ’local’ and free. For those who aren’t but would like to check it out, there’s info, endorsements and sample #haiku sequences on my newly-revamped website, maeveosullivan.com. You can also buy a book! 📕
I enjoyed leading a sold-out #haiku #workshop this afternoon @ILFDublin. I had a lovely group and we were lucky with the timing of our ginko (walk) around Merrion Square, i.e, in between showers!
