Best Isle Poems

The Emerald Isle lies misty green,
an ocean's gem, a land between
the water's edge and blue of sky,
her magic wonders seldom seen.

For those who know her can't deny
although, in truth, they wonder why
the Irish spin their wondrous tales
to friends and strangers, stopping by.

An Irish story never...

Without doubt a small isle but one of natural beauty
Such a tranquil emerald place, the Isle of Innisfree
Set in Irelands Lough Gill in the County of Sligo
And holds for me fond memories of so long ago. 

I met my first love at the loughs shore,...

Our sleepy little Island in the middle of the Irish Sea
Opens its eyes slowly for the Isle of Man TT
The Island bursts into life with bikers everywhere
You need to keep alert and take extra care

The Grandstand is buzzing with colour and noise
You have to admire...

Such a beautiful morning 
So quiet and serene 
Contented and yawning 
I'm living the dream. 
I lie back in my deckchair 
Emitting a contented sigh 
When landing on my chest from nowhere 
Came an exquisite butterfly.

The butterfly landed upon my hairy chest
I looked at it’s...

They live in fear in Ireland.
   Their sin is ' wearing of the green.'
   St. Patricks shamrock is now banned.
   A National Emblem caught between,
   Sweet Erins pride, and Englands stand
   Against the green, and...

I feel so proud when I see our national flag raised
and sing our Anthem ‘Oh land of our birth’
This island is not the place where I was born
but there’s no place on earth I’d rather be
with mountains and hills, a patchwork of fields
and the ocean...

Damn this isle of mine...
solitary awkwardness surrounds
  stifles, and strangles, and estranges
    deranges, debases, encases, entraps
      ...singing this song lonely crazy

Damn this isle of mine...
coast eroding on every side 
an intense sunshine serves to blind...
surrounded by...

The Amadawn ‘ave played the joker 
for the Good folks fairy Coort
‘T was they ‘ave egged the paper birches
an’ touch’d the scare crow’s stalks.

They ‘ave giv'n leerin pumpkin ‘eads

Tied the liein’ Leprechain’s tongues.
Changed the dread Pooka’s course.

They called him the phantom of the sky
On the wings of a huge raptor,  he flew high
Moving  speedily through the air
As he faded into the clouds and disappeared

He was on a dangerous mission
To find the legendary  golden sword
which could be found on...

There’s something magical about an island on a lake
A transient mooring, free to float adrift in space and time
To these small worlds we’re drawn to solitude from deep heart-ache
Where peace rings soft and clear as from a distant belfry chime

Taken from Lake Isle of Dreams

Writes limericks fresh from the pan
Queen of poetry Soup 
She shares her poop 
Watching the s..t hit the fan.

Sit back and watch it burn.

A lady with a weak bladder*
Thought nothing could make her madder
But Heaven knows
Her pantyhose
Revealed a soaking-wet ladder! 


*Weight gain stretches bladder muscle causing 
leakage.  The French strengthen bladder muscle by 
blowing up balloons.  The Japanese prefer sitting on 
a wooden stool and repetitiously...
