Johanna Boal Poems

As we emerge, we can see them.
Some come together, hunkering down
Many are dispersed on their own,
Dark and hazy in their remoteness,
...

I was crumbled, like grains of sand
a boat, a canoe, a simple thing
made out of those trees, up there on that land.
I was carved lovingly, by tiny hands
...

3.

I’m in awe by you being there
Stepping out at my front door
Your iciness, coldness,
Produces white, glittery
...

A hint of families coming together;
olden ships coming through rough seas
the Atlantic - to Co Wicklow - Bray Head
...

Sometimes the sea looks navy at Bray Head
County Wicklow has strewn sewed carnations
blown in with olden times, the Esplanade
Victorian hotel: the intended
...

There is a great attraction on our fridge
A butterfly on a journey from Kellogg’s
Never moves?
David from Florence, protects
...

Behold,
A sea bed with
Oversized edgings
Made prying,
...

The Best Poem Of Johanna Boal

Like Trees In Winter

As we emerge, we can see them.
Some come together, hunkering down
Many are dispersed on their own,
Dark and hazy in their remoteness,
Trucks and branches appear, they seem aloof,
In earnest we gaze at them.
Poverty-stricken nests uncovered, wild and low
But somehow, attention-grabbing features
In invested fields,
In busy cities on golden pavements
Like shadows, time cut short,
Homeless people at home with this?
