Seamus Heaney Awards – Individual Award – Runner Up – Gaelcholáiste Dhoire – Student – Aodhán Glas

Have you written poetry before your school became involved in the Poetry in Motion Project/Seamus Heaney Awards?

I have never written any poetry other than in class or for this project.

Did you enjoy the process of writing your poem?

I really enjoyed the poem coming together and visualising the lego house being built in my mind.

How did you feel about receiving the runners up award for the Seamus Heaney Awards?

I was really surprised because I’ve never won anything this big before. However, I felt extremely happy and proud of my achievement. You never know, I may try my hand at poetry again!
