Francis Duggan Poems

Nature in an angry mood roared into town
Causing death and destruction where she blew buildings down
She flattened everything that stood in her way
When Nature is angry there is hell to pay
...

The average human lifetime span ten years with three score
Only Nature herself does live forever more
Many of the greats of human history to life have come to and from gone
But Nature is living and life does go on
...

I live Far south of there by sky many a mile
The place i was born and raised in i have not seen for somewhile
For twenty six years going on twenty seven in time quite a span
Just one of many who lives far from where their life's journey began
...

Though they to the forever are long gone
The ancestral genes in us are living on
We may not visit where their bones do lay
But their genes are alive in us today
...

Money is quite important of that there is no doubt
Of Russell Crowe and his beautiful and young new love so much written and spoken about
Wealthy celebrities like he is beautiful young women wish to know
Out of money and fame even love is known to grow
...

The fellow so many people do admire
Jim Doukas the famous Mayor of the Moyne Shire
With the prestigious office he holds he does not get carried away
His type nowadays rare this does seem fair to say
...

How come any deceased person has not come back to tell
Of the existence of a universal heaven and hell
Is life for the soul after bodily death just a fallacy?
Lack of proof of such has made a Doubting Thomas of me
...

In fancy i can hear the brown lark in song
Above the spiritual home-place of the Bunurong
South Gippsland's first tribe the people of the Dreamtime
They have become the legends of story and rhyme
...

There is to be a road race in Duhallow's Millstreet
In memory of the late and great Willie Neenan he was the Parish greatest athlete
More than sixty years his athletic career did span
The amazing Willie the legendary man
...

The styles and genres of writing keep changing over time
But poetry in English seems only half dressed without rhyme
And though modern poetry is now the in thing
Without rhyme there would be far less songs to sing
...
