Celtic Fire

The smoke its blue what little rises, embers red; midst black ash silent the hounds lie down the talk is slow, a song is requested the answers no.! That's not the end, more voices exclaim.' cajoling then condemning, and praise." So feet do stir the voice is raised, against deep silence strong tones pervade The notes are lilting with strength and range, Memories are fired As thoughts are changed, Tears do form, unseen in eyes, above the linn 'neath darkening skies..! copyright Joe Maverick 2014 The word linn describes a pond or pool in Irish gaelic..'

I am a lover of anything Celtic - mystical and magical- whether it is music, art, poetry, or prose- and this excellent piece has captivated me! I love it! Pandita.

and underneath the stoic bog, the limbs did move though not a frog, and heaving up and lunging forth, it staggered away off to the north, no not a bloody groundhog :} love your poetry Joe ol mate...

Sounds like a hunt or a camping excursion. The title pervades to give the piece form. My eyes are so bad that I've skipped over your Humpty poems. I have to use a magnifying glass to read. I'll catch up later, old friend. Love, daver
