There comes a time,
When,
Well,
You know.
You’ve just got to let it,
Let it go.
Let It Go
October 15, 2011For Teresa Treacy
September 29, 2011Where are the letters
From clemency getters?
What happened to respect,
For our elders and betters?
Locked up at 65
She committed no crime
It’s been 17 days,
That’s way too much time!
No Irish banker in jail
The whole system makes bail
I know justice is blind -
Has it a broken scale?
Relatively Monumental?
September 27, 2011Everything is relative
To the speed of light.
(That was fact)
They test repetitive
At CERN,
They excite!
(If exact?)
It’s The End Of R.E.M.
September 21, 2011No more, the need to decipher
The warblings of Mr Stipe or,
Hearing harmonies to die for.
Torch
September 13, 2011The moon shines tonight,
So white it might scorch!
Blindingly bright,
A heavenly torch!
Tubular Hell
September 9, 2011Watching television
Audience invited
Devoid of decision
Far from far sighted
Richard Dunne In Moscow
September 8, 2011With his number unknown,
They should’ve applied,
The Superman logo,
Instead of a 5.
Fragile Existence
September 1, 2011We are all just a mere, blink from a tear…
When least expected, a sadness can strike.
Hubris and hindsight – that’s far and near,
Like Hollywood bull, if you like.
Blatant misfortune splashes your screen,
When you’re driving as smooth as a swan.
Hug your closest closer, but don’t you dare preen…
Your gain and your pain, are soon gone.
What It Was
August 16, 2011It might be a bummer
What is, is what’s meant to be.
The worst Irish summer
In half a century.
Summer Of Discontent
August 12, 2011Panic on the streets
And an army of chance takers.
Manic on the screens,
Of barmy market traders.
Forces of the state
With the blame escaping.
Holidays are great,
But just at gap making.
Lives Taken
July 26, 2011In London,
On her own
Amy Winehouse,
Dies at home.
A gasp.
Near Oslo,
Crazy loner
Takes many lives, though
Not his own,
Alas.
Irish National Pastimes #3
July 22, 2011We’re a nation obsessed with…
The weather!
It’s a conversation staple.
Close, soft, mild…
However,
Only from May to April..!
Low Hanging Satellite
July 21, 2011There is a half moon
Hanging low and brilliant bright,
Due East of my house
Right now!
I almost feel embarrassed,
Making up this silly rhyme.
But how is it this brilliant bright,
Right now?
Bon Iver – Bon Iver
July 21, 2011Listen again, and again.
It is well worth it.
Your own emotion,
Insert it.
