Today, Started Winter

October 17, 2011

Like
A
Dark
Switch
Flicked.
Winter
Decided:
Start,
Quick!

 


Let It Go

October 15, 2011

There comes a time,
When,
Well,
You know.
You’ve just got to let it,
Let it go.


For Teresa Treacy

September 29, 2011

Where 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?


The Insignificant Seven

September 28, 2011

Presidential
“Can’t find dates”
Residential
Reprobates.


Relatively Monumental?

September 27, 2011

Everything 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, 2011

No more, the need to decipher
The warblings of Mr Stipe or,
Hearing harmonies to die for.


Torch

September 13, 2011

The moon shines tonight,
So white it might scorch!
Blindingly bright,
A heavenly torch!


Tubular Hell

September 9, 2011

Watching television
Audience invited
Devoid of decision
Far from far sighted


Richard Dunne In Moscow

September 8, 2011

With his number unknown,
They should’ve applied,
The Superman logo,
Instead of a 5.


Fragile Existence

September 1, 2011

We 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, 2011

It 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, 2011

Panic 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.


Happy Birthday WWW

August 6, 2011

It was twenty years ago, today,
Tim Berners Lee, showed the way.


Lives Taken

July 26, 2011

In 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, 2011

We’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, 2011

There 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?
