Frankie Quinn with a poem from his book Open Gates 

In the lull hangs a breeze, 
Rhythmic sound of footballer bees 
Resting on trembling leaves
Under perennial, trees.
Hazily moving in humid shade 
Gentle lovers, entwined, persuade 
Each other’s passions within that glade 
Open mouthed, reservations fade.


⏩  Frankie Quinn is a former republican prisoner who is now a community activist. He is the author of Open Gates, a book of poetry.
