Best Poem of Dónall Dempsey
' ' ' ' Daddy(For My Dad)
Always
your love
everywhere
around me
tangible & intangible
as when
sound
becomes music.
As a child
they asked me
what I wanted
to be
when I grew up
and I ran through
all the obvious choices
a cowboy man
a doctor man
a spy man
a hero man
an astronaut man
but there was
always only
one choice.
I wanted to be
you.
So I blurted out
my child's answer:
'A Daddy! '
The adults laughed
not knowing how serious
I was.
I wanted to be
the ...
Overflowing
The tin bath
that splashed with laughter
before many a Friday fire
as the stove roared
& brothers & sisters
became miraculously cleaned
of dirt...woes or worries
poesia interessante, Dónall, a tratti umoristica, a tratti satira, a tratti dramma.. sempre intelligente - sangue irlandese non mente.. ;)

Donall thankyou so much for all your poems! They are treasures, one and all and their author a rare and gifted soul.

Dónall is the answer to a prayer I never offered up, maiden or not, and he has given reality to dreams that I never knew I'd had. He is poetry personified and his work is as passionate, sincere imaginative and honest as he is himself. I love him.
Ireland in its hour of need could do with yet another blinkin' winker!
Back with a few new pieces, talk later.

An Eccentric Love Pilgrim on a long journey, composing wonderful poems...
If a man can get to heaven, just by having the kindest, most loving heart in the world, then my dearest friend, Donall Donall (the double dip Irishman!) has it made.
His very soul is just pure, shining love, and his poetry reflects his warm heart. Love poetry will never be the same, because of his unusual outlook on life and love,
but WOW, is he one awesome writer! You bet! !
It was so lovely to meet you, Donall. I have read your poetry and it is beautiful. But having seen the way you bring it to life in a three-dimensional sort of way, taking the listener right into the scenarios as if you were performing vivid and colourful one-man plays I will no longer 'read' your poems but 'live' them. Keep on flowing.....
