Long Flynn Poems

When I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen
I was eager to spread my wings to the world
And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled

Within my long travels I happened to meet
Two...

As the fire slowly died
The embers dancing gaily
They had a hard days ride

It tells of simple ball and bat and Mighty’s ignoble feat

Single song bird sang a soft, sweet refrain;

I'm wearing my pink flannel pajamas, the ones with tiny roses.
I'm curled up in the middle of her big four-poster.
And watching her dress for the party.
She has just fastened the clasp...

I dreamt that my uncle sat next to my father in a field.
They sat upon a concrete slab. I think a septic tank. 
Their coats beside them and a guinness bottle in the uncle's hand....

God set souls free
And about it what do we want to intend?

Children's Matinee.

For us kids off the common streets
Every weekend we had a special treat
Held at the old community centre
On Monksbridge
Was the children's matinee
Just a stones throw away
Where we enjoyed the films 
Projected upon the screen

I'm uncomfortable in my own skin
disgraced, defiled, by my own sin

Do you know everywhere I've been?
Did I hurt You, seeing all my sin?...

They hanged old Sarah Flynn

The Elders deemed her guilty,
Of witchcraft they accused;
Prepared to draw her final breath,
While others stood amused

Scoffing her accusers,
She shouted...
