tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

the doctor giving one of his ‘visits,’
his moans...

Journey Companions: the Friend Sonnets Part Ii

dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.

The Giant of Lisbellaw
Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

The Mask of Tourmaline
Twice the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,
Yet again awoken by winter when the third was three in number.

Conniving with that which shadows...

Chalk Dust and Stardust
Amidst the chaos of chalk and dreams deferred,
We ask ourselves, where can we find the spark
In this labyrinth of rote and rigid words?
The burden we bear, a future stark
We've trudged through dusty classrooms, yearning
For wisdom...

Ah methinks I could sleep forever
Ah... methinks I could sleep forever
Basking in a supine position
with eyes wide shut
while the space heater churns out
fast moving molecules of heat

accompanying and populating slumber
courtesy flickering,...

Rhythmically swaying in the wind
Like lazy ocean wave stretches
To the distant line of horizon
Touching the edge of the sky
Melting into hot noon brilliance
Boiling all shades of yellow into
One burning brightness of...

Wistfully he gazed over the snow laden field,
Watching the sheep nibble on bales of hay,
He thought back remembering his working day.

The Bell In the Bush

Down woodland paths the wolf did roam
Far away from his packs home
For game he’d wandered off to seek
The sick, the helpless and the weak
When happened he across a fawn
Tied amid, a...

Ledger of Love: PART I
Ledger of Love

Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome.

Her gaze averts from her...

for my monastic tent
Now folded
