Tha cùram, ealantas agus innleachdach anns gach dàn sa chruinneachadh seo a tha a lasadh smuain ùra a bharrachd air a bhith a cuir nar cuimhne gu bheil againn ri àite a thoirt do ar beachdan beaga fàs cuideachd. Leughar mu, drongaireachd, flùraichean, beachdan air an dachaigh a bharrachd air faireachdainnean agus ceanglaichean a tha a maireann linntean. Tha na dàin uile aonaichte le bàrdachd gleusta anns am bi ùidh aig leughadairean na Gàidhlig fad is farsaing.
