Master Owens, Cloonfadbeg, Carrick-on-Shannon, was a poet. He had the gift of poetry from his ancestors. He went to business in Belfast, died and was buried there. He composed many poems. He composed one about a man whom he did not like namely Bernard Quinn of the same townland. Here is a verse of it:-
