with Murphy (our Jason)
at the wheel
we pinballed our way
through the morose
herds of traffic
and were out of Dublin
in the hour
destined for Ennis
there
the swoops and spills
of the Ceili
Murphy
with his foamy laughter
my unblessed self
and you
footing it with
your brand new husband
that disarming man
sans firepower

One of my first poetic ventures, polished (he hopes) in the light of experience.

Ennis, Ennis, Ennis! Ah, yes!
Reading this again, John, I almost wish you'd add more.

Quality Johnny- lovely pared-down and amusing verse- brings it my imagination vividly and easily- good write.
My only question, why go to Ennis? It's a kip- you're better off in Killarney, Lisdoonvarna or Spiddal...

methinks there are not many walls, built of tense intention, that can withstand the laser light of your insight----love how you keep it all to yourself, musing and amusing your heart's content...et moi aussi, mon ami...often with grieving...

Athlone- now that would surely be a tragedy...

I want to hear the piece given aloud and I want to hear the banter betwixt all in these comments bantered aloud, too. Enjoyed.
