Premium Member Katie O Dale St Paddys Day Plotter

St Pattys Day Limerick  L. Milton Hankins

Twas in his cups, drinking bitter ale.
His name McGonahill, first name Kale.
Irish girl gave him wink
He sputtered came up pink
A big plotter, Miss Katie O’Dale.

She would make him a respectable sort.
His friend Collum laughed, gave a little snort.
She gave him the eye too
Super good Irish shrew
On Patty’s Day they all three now cavort. 

There’s a set of twins that now hang with them.
Names Paddy and Leprechaun Shawn McFinn. 
We watch but do not stare
Drink green beer without a care
In McGongill’s Boar Tavern, oh, so grim.

Premium Member Lune- the Piano

The “Piano Man”
          Has abandoned and I say
                  “Let it be”

               “someone like you” 
         “imagine” will rescue me again
              “Don’t stop believing”!

Lune-Strong

intricate building blocks
years of living stack together
carefully laid stones

gracefully holding steady
though built upon the sand
melded, become strong

Premium Member Lune - Forsaken


old damaged piano 

once caressed by skilled fingers

now silenced forever


what masterly hands

unlocked pure magical music via

your ivory keys

Premium Member Lune-Castle

on lonesome journey
pick shingles of life from
shore of time

with poised dreams
build castle tsunami won’t shatter
making memory debris
