Starling

A meteor crashed into heather,
They reacted together,
Not much later that night,
A young starling took flight.

5 Limeraikus

Again and again 
and again, and then is when 
again, it’s again ...  

A nurse (to be terse) 
made things worse. I see, if free 
this she, would reverse  

At night, a ship’s light 
wasn’t bright. It’s glow, more low 
can’t go – though it might!  

We flow, to and fro, 
fast and slow. We sway this way 
like so, off we go.

 I fear that it’s clear, 
there’s none here. “No ale” I wail 
“I’m frail without beer.”

Emerald Isle

Tipperary's a long way from here,
But the Emerald Isle's best beer,
Will enhance any ceilidh,
I wave my shillelagh,
With some Guinness, old Eire feels near.

The Choice

There is no need to wait
Beyond my garden  gate ,
Nor to fight or to duel
Just you shine, like a  jewel .
So each word that you utter
Say it loud, don't you  mutter .
Or be sad, oh just a  shadow .

last spring

last spring's never here
she cannot return it's clear ...
still, I pray each year
