Paul McCann Poems

Don't Steal My Heart Away
By Paul McCann
...

In need of time out and a holiday beside the sea
Like a slave I’d been working every hour asked of me.
Seven days a week and it was six months without a break.
All over my body I had just this one entire ache .
...

Dad lifted the collection plate
Each week at Sunday mass,
Then afterwards he and I
walked the streets around Belfast.
...

My father carried me when I was small and meek.
He held me in his arms where I could hear him speak.
I know what he said, though I could not understand,
What life was all about and what for me was planned.
...

From cyberspace it came without warning,
Delivering pre-programmed downloads all over the planet.

Into every port they slipped in undetected,
...

Tai Chi on the beach.
As I gently reach.
My hands to the sky,
I see with my eye,
...

Mirror Loop Structure
This is a style I created myself.

The structure of this poem is written so that the poem can be read from the beginning to end and then back again from it’s end to the beginning.
