Breach front properties of the

You teeming wretches, refuse of

Augusta Charlotte, have your eyes

And Emma Lazarus what say thou that

It can be a concave crater
an alcove cave or crypt.

But basically it is a hole,
as in the ground, ie grave.

It also refers to weather
more often than not, bad.

It can be economy related
often used with recession.

As it is a noun, one can be
diagnosed with it, clinically.

But happy up it has antonyms
cheer protuberance and boom.

Democracy is a game
that's played between
chosen candidates who
have been selected by
a committee & presided
over by a biased referee
in plain view at a stadium
full of opiated spectators
who once every four years
for a mere second can tick
a measure of their thickness
with the accuracy of an
engineering feeler gauge.

Come to think of it,
nothing but fish are
homeless, with the
exception of bowled
ones & farmed ones.
The ones John West
rejects are never on
the side of the road
abandoned, at least
we haven't seen any.

At times it seems as if
we are a dying breed.
There isn't hide nor
hair of a camper van
in West Cork and we
are looked upon as if
a movie is being made
about a pair of latter
day-Huguenots in our
La France reg Peugeot!

When roads were made
of clay, thieves came in
the night and excavated
slots for the production
of earthenware urns, the
open dig was a, pothole!

Don’t cast a cold eye
expecting a gold tooth.

More, turn the blind one
and masticate with gum.

It was no pilgrimage,
nor, was it a one way
excursion neither was
it a navigational error.

What woe betides this
doleful day distressed
my eyes dwelled upon
that ceremony in sand.

I got no desire to go
back, bad memories
were combed into my
scalp, furrows on the
forehead are a living
testimony to all which
still tries to haunt me.

Just as the ocean can
conceal its sound in a
shell, souvenirs of our
past seek asylum in the
human skull and hence
the endless tidal battle
that echoes in our ears.

St. Bridgid’s Cross

The cloud factories are
Up and running, even
On this Irish holy day.

Boiled seaweed and
Surf with the strong
Westerlies is the job.

Our dark sky is moving
To the East laden with
History and grievances.

Ah, sure twill be grand,
A dropeen of wet sthuff
On the Saxon Baronies.

They bombed us
Indiscriminately
They attempted
To starve us
They corralled us
On our own property.

They committed
Infanticide eradicide
genocide ecocide
homicide and femicide.
They are our neighbours
with whom we live beside.

This is my first artificial

I am using What’s ******

We are all ears the spoons

only a pair between them.

Kettle whistled teatime, to

Ah, the drawing room, what

I heard the loud ocean
ebbing against Ireland,
crashing waves salt and
peppered our windscreen.

The Wild Atlantic Way
turfed its surf and seaweed
against the craggy coast,
from Cork, to Donegal.

Rain pelted on the roof,
winds gusted, van shook,
lighthouse flashed, recounted
sheep and sleep an elusive dream.


When a shadow dies
We blame the sun
When the leaves fall
We blame the wind
When the stars fade
We blame the clouds
When the tides change
We blame the moon
When we cut our faces
We blame the razors
When we lose our way
We blame the GPS lady
We call her an English
***** and we are feckin
Eejits for listening to her.

It is said that from the moon,
One can see, The Great Wall,
Grand Canyon, Everest and
Giants Causeway in Ireland.

From everywhere on Earth,
One can see the moon, with
The exception of Gaza, due
to Israels Nagasaki Hiroshima.

Gaza was the Israeli
non kosher abattoir
where the Al Allah’s
were slaughtered in
the name of God by
his chosen ones for
Live Genocide 2025.

When I got to (too) the
Screen prompter was
Adamant that I should
Write short and it may
Be the case that I am

Has a different opinion.

Well anyway back to my
Title of which I am in full
Agreement with and I say
That not because a fellow
Poet Emily Dickinson said
The opposite despite she
Spending most of her life
In bed waiting to pass on.

It is obvious that life is too
Long because everything
Begins to break down @65
When we are of no more
Use to society. Teeth eyes
Prostate prosthetics mind
Incontinence allergies and
We shorten but not for long.

If the longest way round is
the shortest way home, then
why did Archimedes even
bother to create a shortcut via

There are no straight lines in

Poetry can be a means
to self assess, because
poets are precise about
a feeling or sensation in
their confessional muse.
Just as people prepare
for speeches in a mirror,
poems can also reflect
what it is you won't see
and certainly can’t hear.
A composition read has
a prescription potential
similar to a recipe by a
three star Michelin chef.

The deck has been shuffled,
players await to turn a trump
before commencing the game.

Stakes are high, metaphorical
stars to symbiotically tally the
union up with the pack of cards.

Greenland and Canada are both

is flipped, the dealer’s got the ace!

God was with Gaza
And Putin we knew
Satan’s with Zelenskyy
and the other Jew too.

You may well have an
Artificial right leg and
A frozen left shoulder
And walk like fashion
Models do, you might
Wear reflection cream
On your face but there
Is nothing false about
Your magnificent smile,
It comes from the heart.
Also, you don’t have ear
Rings like Donald Tinnitus.

stretched off to the horizon.

No, this is not about pints

it is poetry written.

John Bradburne RIP holds
the current world record
which is 6,000 poems.

My current trove exceeds
Heaney’s, Kavanaugh and even

When I claim the prize will people

Such a passionate pursuit
picking wild white things
that grow out of darkness!

The wells of wisdom
were fountains of ink
that flowed from high
into the deep hue sea.

Poetry is a condensed book,
not a diluted tale, it is more,
the homeopathic version of,
ones, verbal, viral, vaccination.

Short and sweet like a donkeys
gallup, is, perhaps a better way
to explain, the, very, (Un) - Irish,
art, of making a long story, short!
