Silence
Seamus Heaney died today,
A fitting end for a poet,
The Rest In Silence.

A Dry Stone Wall Near Coleraine
(for Seamus Heaney)

as if the pale stones
share the warmth
between two sides
sea and field cut
early light and full morning
the path weathered and slow...

Anna
...inspired by M by Seamus Heaney


Her cranium, its bumps and hollows
cradles secrets stored beneath,
neurons firing, never tiring
of their journeys to belief.

Thin vibrations mold, embolden,
prophecies, cunabula
suffuse the soul, engage the spirit
of the tortured Akhmatova....

...inspired by 'M' by Seamus Heaney


The cranium, its bumps and hollows
cradle secrets stored beneath,
neurons firing, never tiring
of their journeys to belief.

Thin vibrations mold, embolden
prophecies, cunabula,
imagine then the soul and spirit
of the wondrous Akhmatova!...

My Daughter
I said more to her then "than in all our life together"--
She just whimpered and moved her head a little,
Then she was gone.
We didn't say anything...
"A pure change happened"


                           My Daughter
                           "Heaney"
                            6/15/'13...

Simply Poetry
Whether it's acrostic, limerick, ballad, ballade, or autobiographical,
Keats, Byron, Blake, or Heaney,
that is just a tiny,
part of the magical, mistical, phenomenal world of poetry and prose,
you won't be able to get your nose,
out of our great poets poetry or prose,
join our magical world of the great unknown....

In Honor of Seamus Heaney
In recognition of the Nobel Poet Laureat Seamus Heaney,
who a few minutes before he left this world last Friday
echoed the Words of the King before He rose from this earth;
NOLI TIMERE....... DO NOT BE AFRAID.
Thank you for that much needed reminder of  Christ's own words,
Seamus Heaney. May God have mercy on your poetic soul and your loved ones.
There is no hope in the world. There is only hope in Christ.
Be Not Afraid....

After Yeats and Heaney
After Yeats and Heaney,
you wonder when the new one
will come galloping 

out of Dublin or perhaps 
from yet another farm
but you won’t know

until you read the lines
and hear the music by someone 
you have never heard of.

If no one else is around
you’ll shout to the sleeping cat,  
here’s the new one!

and then sit back and listen 
to the words roll out, knowing  
a new world has been found.


Donal Mahoney...
