In Praise Of The Great Unknown (For Helen) Poem by Dónall Dempsey
In Praise Of The Great Unknown (For Helen)
Oh Helen...I try
to explain why
you always
make me smile.
Is it your naked wit
how it parries cuts & thrursts
or your humour
how it bubbles up
bringing things
to the boil
or like the bubble
in a spirit level
looked through
with fascination
when you were small
maintaining the world
at a steady level
....magic...magical.
Full of the joy of life, the 'bubbles' that make us all smile and enjoy life!
Pop.. you have done well Donall... isn't she quirky lovely brilliance! !
Loevly little poem of praise. I love the spirit level image. I too was fascinated by its bubble and would level off clouds and trees and horizons and laughter and thoughts and...anything that existed. love GinaXXX

A lovely repartee between two wonderful poets. I see here your reply to Helen's 'Oh master of the romantic pen... Ah, my friend, your words of wisdom sit nicely in this heart.' Both witty pieces and poets who i like to read a lot.
