...Virid Bard has prayed for recollection.
When sacred springtime and summer jigs cease,
and bright, brave bones shall lose their grace and grease,
those things of yore may call his attention.

Tickled Silly
...An idea whispers,
sneaking in on cat’s paws,
a sly grin curling at the edges,
as I sip morning coffee, unaware.
It dances on tiptoes,

a baller...

Joy In Alliteration
...Joyful jolly jigs and jests,
Jump and jive, no time to rest.
Joining hands, a joyful crew,
Joking, laughing, joy anew.
Jazzy tunes, a joyful beat,
Jingling bells, a jolly treat.
Jovial smiles...

Don'T Quit Your Daydream

My barely hidden refuge, a sensual shadow
On the road, I laid out for stifled sorrow

To the flowing tenor song
Sung by the River Boyne born from Tara's Keep

Weaves truth from stones of blarney
