Long Reilly Poems

Christmas Panic at the Pole

With  only 12 days before Christmas,
Santa‘s concerned with the weather report,
the sleigh has a major malfunction,
needs repair and the time’s running short.

All the elves have themselves in a panic,
their shifts...

She sent me a message while I was walking Mr. Reilly,
She said “Look up, and tell me what you see.”
I thought I would impress her with my poetical ways so I answered,
Bus zooming by…

I write upon the page 
Words plucked from the air 
The clarity of the moment passes 
My words falter, fade and disappear 
Return a moment later 
Vibrant with life 
Razor sharp and crystal clear, 
The...

I think it's time for a proper introduction,
Many have heard of Rellic,
But few know of Reilly Anders,
I'm a treasure hunter of sorts,
An adept at exploration,
Now I know what you're thinkin,
"Ohhhh great, ANOTHER archetypal girl archaeologist,...

In the thick fog of dawn 
Everything is unclear 
Dull and overcast 
I awaken, drowsy, half-asleep 
And enter into the day, 
The earth is new
The trees, the sky
The distant panorama 
The surrounding landscape is fresh...

SWINE LOVE
Henry loved Penelope
it was him that she adored
but Henry grew quite restless
she could see that he was bored.

"Go take a break," she finally said
"this farm is long and wide
i know you've always dreamed to...

Yes, little frog 
You were floating downstream 
On the surface of a giant leaf
Carried along by the swift current 
Navigating your way around 
The thick forrest of weeds 
And through the dense undergrowth 
That runs...

.THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ROSE (flower contest entry)

Every rose harbors a story,
from buds kissed by the dew,
lovely glorious blossoms,
share the mystique of their hue.

Sunny yellow says “I care,”
lemonade to shades of gold,
non-romantic true affection,
invites friendships...

He sure enjoys 
his life of Reilly; 
lavishly living it up! 
A globe-trotter. 
A man-about-town. 
He's a big hit 
with the ladies, 
and he doesn't mind 
all the attention. 
He's a big spender. 
Did I...

Recalling special holidays past,
my favorite thoughts would be,
three pairs of feet running down the hall
to wake up the Christmas tree.

The excitement and the chaos,
as wrapping paper was torn,
squeals of delight throughout the house
as Christmas day...

Common sense is telling me

Spellbinding! Memorable!
No written words can 
 describe this
 breath-taking phenomena.
She is one of Mother Nature’s 
truly magical gifts.
 Nestled in the 
vintage wine country
of Ontario, Canada, 
horse-drawn carriages artfully
whisk you by scenic fields of purple...

The Wandering Witch of Halloween


Writhing, wriggly slimy maggots
weaving through her hair,
her black heart  the embodiment
of repulsion and despair.
.

A malevolent wicked demon, 
many tales do foretell,
she’ll ravenously stalk you Halloween night
and drag you down to...

I saw a homeless man 
Begging on O'connell bridge 
Behind him the dark stagnant waters of the Liffey 
Flowing aimlessly along the quays,
All around him a large crowd of people 
Walking to and fro
And somewhere...

Dear Friend 

Save our friends 
Our bees 
Our natural medicine 

Save our friends 
Our bees
Sign the Green Peace Petition 
Please 
Without our bees no colour to be seen
Without our bees no more poetry no more...

Overcome with anger 
He grabbed a knife 
Ran to the front 
Of the auditorium 
And lunged at the little clown 
In the  centre of the stage, 

What followed was a violent struggle 
Between the...

Should time eradicate all my fears and doubts 
The painful memories of my troubled past 
The cruel and biting words from unfriendly mouths 
And grant inner peace and contentment at last, 
Should time with a...

When she arrives, she owns the room,
with a stunning grace,
she commands her captive audience
with promise on her face.
An intoxicating temptress,
few will ever know her well,
she’s alluringly illusive
casting her seductive spell.
Addictive and disloyal,
she can tear your...

What if this strange, tired, sleeping world 
Should one day waken from its slumber 
And like the cold hand of death unfurled 
Revealing dark secrets that lie among its number, 
Exposing in the clear light...

Morning 

Under the early morning starry night skies
A little red robin fluttered by
She came a little closer to me 
Bathing  in the peace of love ,
Under the moon of tranquility.

Under  the early morning...

In walking mist between the sunshowers
A careless passerby stumbles
He stares awkwardly for a moment 
And then carries himself onwards, 
I could have known him but for his haste 
And was sure something familiar struck me...
