Another brilliant piece from a GUNNAS WRITING MASTERCLASS writer.
Writing in Rathdowne Street
Today I attended a writing class
with my sister
Recommended by our brother
Who believes in us
When I discovered
that the class was in Rathdowne street
I smiled
I’ve been down that street many times before
I’ve done 1001 Things there
Curtain Square was our children’s backyard
It holds so many memories
Of those early years
When life is so full
Of babies and school and parties and love
I’ve sat in those cafes and written screenplays and reviews
That I held close to my chest
Today I am reminded that
The best
kept secret
Is one we all know
In our hearts
Every one has a story
That we are longing to hear
And ‘everyone is an everyone’
And there’s nothing to fear
And now I just want to thank
Catherine
And
Rathdowne Street
For reminding us
That all we need to do
Is take the next step
