EPIC. 

•     E very one knows of a hero
•     P oetry shows all his deeds
•     I n life he won many battles
•     C oncluding with death in the fields

• Gnarled and bent it stands
•  Giving true testimony to the land
• To The life and history within
• To the potato blight and famine 
• To the women in their shawls
• And the curraghs in the swells
• To the fishermen who gave their lives
• To their widows who still survive
• To erosion and corrosion
• To the power of Mother Earth 
• To the roots of our great ancestry
• To the British and rebirth

• A testimony to our resolve
• To weather life’s great battle
• And blow another seed to sow
• In our eternal struggle 

 

His brain is full of trains and tracks

His friends call him a nerd

He is a social outcast

Or so he has overheard

His life is in a downward spiral
His must escape the trend

Before it gets too serious
And then his life will end

                            The Brain

•   The brain is a peculiar thing
•    open it up and let words fling
•      The cogs will turn about about
•     the couplets churn right out right out
•    We’re all blessed with thoughts and ideas
•    Let’s turn them into poems please 

• catapulted  from a deep sleep
• The phone blasted out on the Bedside table
• Dreary and gluey eyed I peered at the dial
• My heart leapt with trepidation
• As It read, withheld number 
• I wondered
• A stranger at an ungodly hour 
• Bad thoughts ring through your mind
• All fears return you will find
• You answer, voice trembling
• Wondering, worrying
• An unfamiliar voice resounds
• You answer stuttering stammering
• And then relief mixed with seething frustration
• A stranger, a wrong number
• Back to sleep, relaxed 
•  Awake To face another day

• there are people that I know
• Who to eating seafood will not go
• I wish to God that I  could show
• The benefits of squid shrimp and roe
• The intake of  omega 3  for eyes and brain
• Is plain to see
• It helps to eat oysters crustaceous prawns
• A healthy body it really spawns
• So let us all go spread the word
• And educate the red meat herd

•   I sit out on the balcony
•   and ponder on what I can see
•   the clouds sit still up in the sky
•   the muffled voices of passers by
•   the distant sound of children crying
•   imagining the worried
•   parents praying
•   a dog barks loud a bird takes flight
•   disturbed form the nest   with sudden fright
•   I step inside and close the door
•   and hear the sounds of night no more
