First Venetian recording
of Aqua Alto was Oct 17
AD 589. Without exception,
and to no greater heights,
these precipitations have
continued to occur annually.

This proves that rising sea
levels (which is attributed)
to global warming, is all a
sham. But as history has
revealed, the vast majority
of the world, are dupable.

Aquatic Aspiration

              

    I heard it lapping even overlapping

   and in-between each timely rhythm,

              a sequential silence.


       A shy hesitation before the

  next surge of renewed confidence.


A collective gathering of momentum

      for another attempt to break its

             It’s previous record.


But the sunrise din dampened day,

Thalassa’s tidal ambition concedes.


   Mare Nostrum accepts that it's

      virtually a land locked lake.

'The ******'s bread''
was brown with hale,

Rose from the embers
outside the pale.

T'was all they ate for
days on end,

Their flag, their strife,
no wind could rend.

A staff, a standard, a
a nations knead,

A daily rising, is still
our creed.

Famine, fasting, while
some did feast,

Our memories are
stored in yeast.

Not every tree in the
forest gets to grow
tall or vertically has straight
branches and is evergreen.

Not every tree in the
forest has access to
sufficient light to sustain
adequate foliage.

Not every tree in the
forest gets enough
water to irrigate its
root systems

Not every tree in the
forest will be selected
by the lumber jack
for the timber yard

           No matter where that

          I am I don’t want to be

            the world is a forest

             but I’m not a tree.


            Some they get old

           but stay ever green

          while others go bald

            deciduous I mean.


            One Spruce's up

          to go on a date but

        everyone knows she's

         a Beech always late.


        Ok she’s a Birch two

           Holly and Hazel

    had their ears to the vine.


     Cherry Olive is Poplar

   but Mimosa’s in love with

Lime Orange & Sweet-Plum.


        Bay Laurel is hardy

      as Hickory and Oaks

    and Redwood is tough

but it’s Teak that make yokes.

The poem begins in the forest

but what it is saying is, trees

(the metaphor for people)

are trapped by their roots or

surroundings ending up in

a harness of their own making

ie The Yoke.

We all get a chance at some
stage in our lives to show
our colours.

Some actually make it to the
end of rainbows, where pots
of gold, are mere metaphors.

Archibald came out with
dreadlocks which were
quickly abbreviated before
the press got wind of it.

Arctic Cathedral

You are a Prism,
You are a Pyramid
You are the peak of the Pole.

You're an Icesosceles Triangle
You are a beacon or a Spike
You are a frosted Toblerone.

You are a Fuji
You are an Aspen
You are an Everest.

You are an Anything
You are a Something
You are an Everything,

You are a Sail
You are a Scale
You are a Chard

You are a Munch
You are an Ibsen
You are Amundsen

You are Nocturnal
You are Diurnal
You are a Star

You are an Icicle
You are a Waterford Crystal
You are a Stalagmite.

You are the Sine
You are the Cosine
You are the Tangent.

You are a Pagoda
You are a Point
You are a Paradox.

You are an Illusion
You are a white Seclusion
You are a Mirage.

You are Ribbed
You are Cribbed
You are Ad-Libbed

You are Algebra
You are Geometry
You are Trigonometry

You are the Alfa
You are the Apex
You are the Anthem

You are Sensual
You are Superb
You are Sublime.

Architecturally Eccentric
Optically Simplistic
Spiritually Divine.










Ps

The Arctic Cathedral is in
Tromso, North Norway.

Google it, it is stunning.
I wrote this whilst sitting
there today.

.               O

It has without doubt a
glacial circumference,
and of course, there’s
a Stygian gloom, under
what appears, snowdrift,
until one tastes it, that is!

It's a Pint Of Guinness

.                                    Fishte Oazis


          It is where the mammary mountains overlook

                 It is where nature is tickled to a smile

      It is where evergreen shadows tint a pea soup lake

           It is where dawn chorusses are orchestrated

           It is where Cuckoos listen to their own echoes

   t is where House Martins share flies with aquatarians

It is where Golden Orioles share trees with common birds

          It is where Geese and grazing Goats can greet

   It is where Tortoises listen to nocturnal Toad warnings.

It is where vegetarians are vindicated for not eating meat.

          It is where perfection is presented one a plate

          It is where generosity of spirit is not contrived

          It is where I, a wandering nomad felt at home.

Destin ou Provenance

First thing a man stops
doing when he begins
to get depressed is he
abandons the ablutions.

The three O’Clock
shadow matures into a
stubble then a beard.

By hiding ones self there
is no need to-see the
reflection, It is foetal time.

Rooms darken, minds dim.

But as in nearly all cases
a rude renaissance occurs.

There is the inevitable baulk of
looking in the silver lined glass
frame without a picture, and
preparing to rejoin the world.

The hot tap is engaged, there
is a rummage around for a BIC.

By the time we are finally
ready to confront ourselves



               (‘>    [#]



                  The mirror
                         has
                 misted over!

An unalarmed life
rostered by a rooster

A solar pendulum
his only time piece

Dawn is an eyelid, raised
daily by an ebbing night

One season is a leaf with
wings, others differ noticably

Our pasts and our futures are
provenance to destination on

Trains through tunnels with
no means of disembarkation.

Aristide is here yesterday today and
tomorrow, his grammar permits it.

Gabriel comes to mind,
well, that is what the
babysitting agency
said, but we don't
trust them because he
brought Lucy Fir with
him last time and she
she is a lesbian, not
that we are sexist, but,
  
   She was black as Jack
   Daw's dog in Lacoste
   and we are not racist, but,

   Look what happened to
   Cinderella and sure all
   she ever did was clean
   out the ashes of fire
   places at the castle.

   If it was Angelina Joli,
   now that would be a
   different game of ball.

   But Brad could stay at
   home to mind Bill
   Wilson's Goldfish, the
   one he got from a store
   in Akron Ohio during
   prohibition and after it
   was over, the fish, known
   as Bob, had the misfortune
   of going from one bowl to
   another, protesting its
   captivity before ending
   up on a table at an AA
   meeting to show the new
   comers that h2eau is the
   destiny of anyone who
   lives in a glass house.

Another war for America,
but of course we all know
it was planned well ahead
and why the troop removal
from Afghanistan occurred.

Wars to America are premature
ejaculations without condoms.

Nobody has any idea of the
consequences and pulling
out at the right time is not
an art of which they excel.

Just imagine, if arm pits
had been inverted, Irish
council workers would
have no sockets to anchor
their shovels while they
are on the roads working.

When shorter ones were
introduced, they made
perfect foot rests, causing
the Axilla to be superfluous.

If Notre Dame was an act of
God, then it should not be
restored, that is French secular.

If it was arson by the Government,
then, they will re build it, because
that is French non secular.

So, let us deduce that 1789 was a
dismal failure, just as 2019 has and
will be for the Yellow Vests.

Game set and match to Macron,
when leaders need assistance, an
iconic structure needs to be destroyed.

Buildings are not innocent, contrary
to popular thinking, trees are cut down
when people use them for suicide.

Notre Dame is state owned, not the
Catholic Church, France is an evil
country, Notre Dame was its flagship.

.    Last night a shocking
    nightmare, oil refinery
    in Isreal was all lit up it
   was hell I tried my best
  to stop it (not put it out)
  but prevent it spreading
to Gaza. My unconscious
mind, for some reason or
other had no empathy for
the Jews, “we’re innocent
when we dream” but when
I woke I checked the news
and it wasn’t true, shucks!

Art Has No Comparison

I always wanted to be an
Artist but the professor
Told me I had no eye for
Colour. Detail, dimension
Or perspective, ‘thé arts
In any form are not for you’.

So I took his advice and
Used my Penicillus for a
Totally Different purpose.

I put some chilli powder

And olive oil on the soup

Stirred it and suddenly a

Fleur de Lis appeared.

I’m an artist I exclaimed

To no-one there, but it

Meant I could stay poor

Wear cast offs from the

Charity shop keep on the

Dole, become unkempt,

Walk everywhere write

Poems that nobody not

Even myself understood,

Mix with the lower classes

Contrive eccentricity roll

My own but let no one see

me buying tickets for Lotto.

Munch used oils to explain
anxiety, words evaded him.

I am a poet, not an artist, but
low esteem rhymes with scream!

My wave length
is stretched way
beyond the reach
of many who are
not familiar, with
art in semaphore

The sign gestures
I employ similar to
Michelangelo’s on
the Sistine ceiling,
are metaphorically
misleading murals.

They say it should be
revoked, give back
Hawaii and it will be
49, one less star on
the flag, they all die
eventually and as we
can see, the twinkle
is loosing its gloss,
no loss, was great,
but fading fast, milky
way being replaced
with soya, no cows
on the moon, too bad,
no American flag either.

The Donald holds
While Zelensky folds
For a pool of the Ukraine minerals
Putin shares, with the sleeping bears
And Babuscha tells the Russian generals

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

Stakes are high, metaphorical
stars to symbiotically tally the

Greenland and Canada are both

I would have forgone the sun
and the lavender for the
inclement waters of Mallow.

I would have been happy on
the opposite side of the street
just to catch the occasional
glimpse as she passed by
the window -

as an intermittent wiper dashes
at the first sign of fresh raindrops
then quickly rushes back in
preparation for the next sweep,

is how it was, fleeting, yet I had
every intention of pursuing what
my passionate nature desired.

But on this visit, she had gone!

Other than now, it has been
      a secret unshared!

I'm ashamed to be a white
chauvinist sham christian
after all we have done in
the name of God to black
people throughout history.
I hereby renounce religion.

Apology For Ire-land

And it’s xenophobic bigot racists you will see

1847


          Where is OUR country?

         Has history been erased,

        genocide forced migration

       dispossession colonisation?


                      1948


         We know where Gaza is

       we hear their voices implore

        to echoes of silence, same

    ones encountered by ourselves.


                       1963


     We never had a Pope but we

     did have a President “Ask Not"

   what your country can do for you,

   but what you can do for Palestine.


                       2024


   But where has our empathy gone,

  by whom is our government being

controlled, why is everyone suddenly

      having a nice day?  Shalom!

Ps.


Of all the countries in the world

Ireland should have been first to

sever diplomatic ties with Israel

followed by sanctions. But we are

being lead by a capitalist coalition

in hock to the Christian Zionists,

an evil American President who

has sullied Irish Americans. We've

got a hereditary Hindu Prime Minister

whose historic country has an

indelible hatred of Muslims and

who are currently supporting Israel

against Palestinians.

Ps x 2

Ireland also supports Stefan Bandera’s

Jim, the alzheimer patient,

It was long before Covid

A Kipper of bread

                     as its lead receded
under the hooded
                    bark of a red pencil
after a close encounter
                         without a rubber
on a Belvedere Blond!

Nobody would have believed
in religion if they had not been
coerced into it as children, same
goes for almost everything
but watching adults buy this
Covid yarn does make me
wonder about Santa, 911 & the
Tooth Fairy.  So what is make
believe and is a Disney denier
likely to be punished by Baloo ?

Time has no past
Memory has no future

do it now, with a note.

At the local Assizes, Donkey
decided that the French Charolet
Tuareau, was misunderstood by
by a prudish herd of Irish Friesian's
and wrongly accused of #MooToo
when he remarked to a local bullock,

" See her over the there, the one with
  the big Udder's, Best Lait in the field ".

                     <>

The case was dismissed on the grounds
of parochialism and mono linguisticism
by the Anglophone Irish Bovines who
after 60 years in the EU should have known
better. Donkey also suggested that perhaps
in the light of this incident, perhaps they
might consider Brexiting as their attitude
to Europe was no different than that of their
neighbours across the border in N. Ireland.
