Listen to poem:
November's breath is chill
Beneath daubed clouds of grey
While distant echoes shrill
Departed souls do stray
Amongst innocent bystanders
Lady death meanders

Once lit by flickering torch light
with animal tallow mixed with ocher
daubed on subterranean rock walls
now lit by streetlights or LED headlamp
slashes of spray paint and magic markers
splattered on concrete bridge abutments,
boxcars, or walls of tenement ghettos,
but the message is the same
we were here.
Melanie cried for hours the day
a drunk driver ran over her dog
a week after she had an abortion.
She loved that dog so much
she told her mother she knew
Ollie was now in heaven barking
as the angels blew their horns.
Her mother softly daubed her tears.
Nothing worse than losing a dog.
Donal Mahoney
Listen to poem:
After the rain,
came the smell
of rain
as the earth
vaporized its
pleasure at
its renewed
fecundity
felt deep within.
The musty scent
of dampness
loaded with aromas
and fragrances,
wafted up from
damp organic stuff.
Wetted by drips
and drops, and
scattered splatter spots
daubed on the
parchment of
dryness, the smell
of rain arose,
in a spiral,
curling upward.
DAUBLIN THE PAINTER
Daublin the painter was a professional fainter
Got a contract from the Queen of Poro to paint her
He daubed her face with green
And preened her dog-ears clean
And swooned over her bosom- what a skillful fainter!

You won’t see these words
in a shop window
printed across a smiling face,
or scribbled upon a wall -
they will probably never be daubed
on toilet stall doors either.
Deep and meaningless words
are generally reserved
for deep and meaningless poetry.
Works of literary art
that paint pretty word-pictures.
They are often well crafted,
but in the end
the reader is left hollow
wondering
why depth is so often presented
in such a shallow way.
Swallows framed on an evening sky
Thatch roofs singing a lullaby
Children's eyes set catch the stars
Old folk tales for tomorrow's scars
It was all there then
And perhaps is happening there again
The village around the log fire seated
Children in old ring games repeated
Since the first wattle hut
With lime-daubed stone gut
This is my Knoxwood, my memory
The page printed with the tapestry
Twittering like swallows in the air
Lamenting my exile and my despair.
Form:
Love is a painting, daubed,
perchance on someone’s heart
A folly when it flutters,
a mystery dank and dark.
Romance is mostly happenstance
whispers wafting in the night,
What if’s - floating yesterdays
never quite in sight.
Love paints a heart with madness,
bright colors lined in black
But always adds a tree -lined road,
forever winding back.
