Amos Greig Poems
Steel capped icebergs' pierce the sky.
In artificial towers
Rapunzels refused to let down their hair,
Satisfied to watch the tired and hungry
...
Sheltered field of pleasant green
The susurrus of distant wind,
Nature gossips
Protests at intrusion,
...
Faceless streets close in around, as corridors seem to stretch into infinity,
A burst of adrenaline and the heart seems to beat irregularly a small bird
Desperate to escape the cage. The flight of logic begins as images blur into
Chaotic thoughts.-
...
Urban concrete jungle
In the twilight hours
This is where the lost boys are.
...
Scaraveen,
Changing weather
That is the best description of Irish weather.
