Francis Duggan Poems

The saying time does not wait for anyone it's own self does explain
It is everyone's master and as such will always remain
It brings to an end the life of the poor one and the life of the billioanaire
Time that rusts iron any life does not spare
...

I am one who has written a whole heap of rhyme
Just old fashioned stuff over decades of time
Since for it i never receive any money as pay
Some have advised me for to give it away
...

My wonder of Nature only grow and grow
Yet so little about her i can claim of to know
I learn something new of her every day
That in life we never stop learning it does seem this way
...

Mottled brown wings, tail, back and head, rufous rump, spotted breast and unders of light gray
Quite distinctive from other grassland birds in their way
In their breeding Season the males fly around their territory in a territorial display
In open grassy wooded country known to be nomadic those who know of them does say
...

Since he lived in time many decades have gone
But in his love and Nature poetry his fame does live on
His love of Mary Joyce in his poems is living today
Though his love of her was unrequited in truth one can say
...

Since he lived in time many decades have gone
But in his love and Nature poetry his fame does live on
His love of Mary Joyce in his poems is living today
Though his love of her was unrequited in truth one can say

Of your sensitive feelings they are not aware
Since they are not the type about others who care
From being unkind in their words to others pleasure they derive
Out of knowing their cruel words are painful they mentally thrive
...

Far south of the fields where the waterways meet
In the green countryside near the Town of Millstreet
In the coastal freshening breeze white butterflies play
And the magpies are singing in Illowa today
...

Everyone has a lfe story for to tell
Though few biographies published in book form for to sell
To the reading public interested only in the life stories of people of wealth and fame
Publishers only publish books on one with a famous name
...

If you visit Tower Hill in Spring you may see
Father emu and his young family
By his side slowly walking along
In the emu family love's bond it is strong
