‘The Write Stuff’ are gatherings in collaborative storytelling, poetry & music. Curated & hosted by Steve O'Toole. At each gathering, storytellers/poets, are joined by a showcase musician, working to a pre-agreed theme. Thus, delivering a continuous, collaborative flow of original work. This is something rather unique & unlike anything currently available elsewhere. Artist John O’Donnell with ‘The Write Stuff’. Collaborative storytelling, poetry & music.

PALESTINES’S DAY
For the love of your God or none
Let Feb. 14th be Palestine’s Day.
And with three little words
We pave the way.
As seeds we are planted
United as friends.
From river to sea
Faqqua Iris will bloom again.

Another day, another Luas journey, another thought…

THOUGHT FULL …
Amidst the phone users
My ear abusers
The lady sits alone.
Filing nails
Smiling away
At thoughts
I’ll never know.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
