With a thunderous whack and an ear-splitting clap And shouting from the sliotar’s slap Grit your teeth and chase down your opponent But careful, a bone’s sure to snap Get the ball in your hand, but you can’t pick it up! You’ll be booed right out of the club Can’t manage this? Then get off to the side And let in your brogue-armored sub Run down the pitch with a whirl and a twirl With the sliotar on the end of your hurl What, I can only take twelve steps?! Ha, bet you now want to skirl But if you manage to hit the sliotar long Toward the goal or the upright’s prongs You’ll be met with a free pint And joined in your county’s old songs
Vom Hügel gegenüber Stood the spiteful brooder Cé le guth briste Lamented rotten bouquets Und vom nahen Hügel Came a sound just as dull Ón gcailín laghdaithe go cnámha Beneath a crooked bough “Do not cross this valley floor” Dúirt sé le croí trom “For my soul to you I bore Als wäre es ein Traum" With a wicked smile, said she: “Das war das Ziel von dem Spiel For I am but a ticking clock Ach anois...táim tuirseach”
Dear isle of the emerald Of style I’m aye-embroiled My past have I assembled No part rightly recoiled Lonely graves at Clonmacnoise By Brú na Bóinne redeployed Father’s bones grew unalloyed Neath stones uncut, undestroyed Celtic cross stands resolute At Drogheda constitute Warriors sat to convolute Tara’s ardor’s absolute This country have I disannulled For blissed green hills resemble A home I’ve seen assembled Dear isle of the emerald
Yet there are seasons (I) Autumn Relief by mitoXD, journal
Yet there are seasons (I) Autumn Relief
At lastno more hiding in the shadows
escaping summer heat and glare
for the feast of decay
so pale the morning moon
demands to wear the most splendid garment
then settles behind golden leaves
moist firewood’s zest on sticky soil
distant visitors in Vees
suture a cloudy drape
while I am finding my way
