Winning poem for 'A Poem for GMIT'

The winning poem for A Poem for GMIT is 'Digging' by Seamus Heaney.

I presume many would agree with the thoughts of one of those who voted for this poem: 'The last line sums up what education, curiosity and the search for new perspectives is all about : Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests. I'll dig with it'.

The top three poems were:
1. Digging by Seamus Heaney
2. For a New Beginning by John O'Donohue
3. Mid-term Break by Seamus Heaney

We really appreciate everybody taking the time to send in their choices.

Many thanks,
