Poetry Day Ireland is an annual island-wide celebration of poetry which invites the nation to read, write, and share a poem on the day.
Presented by Poetry Ireland, the theme for this year is "Good Sports" celebrating the good sport in all of us, the drive to give it a go or to have a crack at it.

Iomramh
An seaicéad buí groí seo
a fháiscim orm féin le hurraim,
an bolgán mór geal seo
a theann ann ar an mbolg orm–
.
gan é, ní leagfainn aon láimh
ar mhaide ná ar bhád
ná ní thabharfainn aon aghaid
har chrann snámha
.
ach seo méfaoi réir,
máta i gceann rámha
hulúiste haláiste
canúag treabhadh canálach.
