Kashmir thanks to the
British is nothing to
Singh about as per all

It is a birthday cake of
Himalayan icing with
three blown candles,
but no one said happy.

J’ai mal dans ma tete

If I had a plaster cast, a
crutch, or a cane, my
wound, though invisible,
would be admissible.

Mentally malfunctioning

of support, therefore, I
am a maligned malingerer.

one’s condition is futile,
it is          in invisible ink.

It’s all about minds,

My head’s a cesspool

I did a bit of it there too.

The Gift
One might assume
IE (those who live in
future and past, or
both) that now would
be mid way between
the two, but that isn’t
the case and while we
have had less time in
past we tend to spend
more in the future but
when we have less left
in the future we spend
more in the past and in
both instances we cross
the present to get there
and as we all know, the
present is now and that
is why it’s called the gift!

Hollow Cost
Everyone wants best
prices and bargains

Cheap flights exploits

Everyone wants to eat
more but to pay less

McDo’s, junk food, love

Everyone is thinking

While trying to stay cool
without sounding alarming

Everyone professes to
be an animalarian

Yet only 6 per cent of us
are actually vegetarian

Pollination
It is not a nationality, in
fact, some are blow ins.

They are migrants, just
here for nectar & honey.

They mate with natives
breed like buds and go.

Yet they bring colour &
blossom harvest & fruit.

Swallows arrived, what
pestilence do they have.

And the Cuckoo, another
unworthy, I’m not a racist.

But, we are an island, our
own birds, shoot them all.

Eoin Or Us
Poetry by P. Rose is AI.
Alexa, or the GPS lady
would make it a better
listen, she drones in a
mundane, monologue.

I had severe laryngitis,
hoarse as a hound but
they wouldn’t permit a
a substitution which is
why it sounds onerous.




By Finn Mac Eoin
I go to bed with the hens,
as I get older and like dry
cattle I don’t drink a drop
late on in the afternoon in
hope of sleeping out, or is
it in. Either or, I never miss
the dawn chorus, because
I’m rostered by the rooster,
and, by Roaring Water Bay.


Ps,

Roaring Water Bay is in
West Cork Ireland, it is
where Jeremy Irons and
Sineid Cusack live in a
fairytale pink castle, be
sure & google. Magical.
Of life confined, then
suddenly an induced
agoraphobia and the
fear of final freedom.

How high do I fly and
where do I perch how
do I build a nest who
will bring me my food.

What is a cat and the
only bird I have seen
that I like, since I got
out is the caged one.
When voices go hoarse
When wane ears waxen
When 20 / 20 is halved
And attention’s divided!

Then is when why what
Where, and by whom is
Controlling the national
Narrative, is suspicious.

Unpretentious
Everyone seems to have
the need for the one up

Nations use monuments
statues or highest tower

Skyscrapers, monolithic
statements to greatness

I think the spire in Dublin
is so suitably simplistic

Just like Martin Kelleher’s
office shed in Clonakilty.

……MOO…..
One often hears said
of a discovery in the
attic of an unfinished
poem. Well, I found a
3 letter barely started
title beside an empty
ink bottle and an old
fountain pen. One of
those with the rubber
refills which needs to
be squeezed and then
released for siphoning.

Just like teats of a cow.

A Domestic
There is usually something
afoot when the sky shutters
are drawn closed. Normally,
not too long afterwards one
begins to hear the pots and
pans being hurled across a
silver lined expanse as Thor
and Zeus explode into what
becomes a lightning abuse,
that always ends up in tears.
A salty tidal spray Celtic
mist with the foggy dew
Atlantic wind and fairies
plus rays of a watery sun
are bringing slow erosion
to the rust house of Irons.

On The Set
The moon has no fixed
abode, other than a pad
behind the hill according
to a very old Irish song.

The sun is not nearly as
adventurous, same old
same old, but there are
a lot people like this also.

Let the hare set is a saying
which means to pause for
a moment and a rabbit set
is and area a bit like a hutch.

Game set and match is the
tennis term which is almost
the same as lock stock and
barrel, or, the full caboodle.

There is a set square which
is an implement rather than
a tool used by an engineer,
so called due to being fixed.

On the set is the stage term
abbreviated from the setting
which was often a backdrop
set up to assist the audience.

There’s a couch settee which
is a low working class lounger.
Sofa is aspirant bourgeois, but
I much rather, Chaise Longue!

A settle is more than reaching
an agreement or fixing debts
a settle is/was also a wooden
chest or a pew in a monastery.

Settlers are unscrupulous Jews
stealing land from Palestinians
in the West Bank after already
being gifted Israel by the Brits.
.   The Cuckoo comes in
    April and squats a nest
   in May, and sure what of
it, if she’s not able to build
one for herself and anyway
  all she does is lay an egg
  and the host bird hatches
   then feeds the chick, it is
    natures best example of
  symbiotic socialist sharing.


We humans need to heed it.

Of hypothermia in a

From Kerry and he got
Frostbite in his *****
While he was up the

Some seem to think that
cake their mothers used

eaten as a take away, no

who don’t want the bone,
they are not willing to let
mangy strays eat it either!

A Moral & A Story
Ryan O'Leary Apr 29
If someone was to hand you
your life in a jig saw puzzle
the first thing you would do
is assemble a perimeter cage,
then you would try to piece it
together from the faded and
damaged images on the box.

As you put the last fragment
to complete the picture you
suddenly get the idea of the
exercise and that was, that it
makes no difference, you had
a second chance and just like
the first time, you fcuked it up.

When a voice sounds
against a wall of deaf
ears that turns a blind

Tides turn for a similar
reason and that’s why
people can hear a sea
repeat itself, in a shell.

But where does time
go when we are not
watching the clock &
does it ever come back?
