Michael Micmac Mccrory Poems

‘Noireen’
‘You are my light’

I sit in the darkness of my cave
...

They made me study history
Why?
...

‘Geography’

Why study geography
When you got no place to go
...

‘The Murphy’s’

My name is Paddy Murphy
A stout, stout drinking fellow
...

‘For your love’

Open your eyes
Take in the sights
...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dearie me
The page is empty devoid of words
...

The last Rites

The blessing from the priest
Did not allay her fears
...

Every letter in every word
Every word in every sentence
...

Future English invaders in training
Running amok
Bust that lock
Plunder and pillage
...

There’s a rumour doing the rounds
Have you heard, have you heard?
...
