Francis Duggan Snow Poems

The high road closed to traffic you can't drive that way
And in the high mountain village kids with snowballs play
And it snowed in Olinda four inches today
In the coldest part of Sherbrooke some venture to say.
...

On the high countryside from here far away
I have been told that there is snow on Mushera today
And the early February weather temperature mostly below the zero degrees
And the cold breath of frost in the Boggeragh breeze
...

Far north in Duhallow it is cold enough for to snow
Where the swollen streams and rivers bank high do flow
In wet fields quite soggy after recent heavy rainfall
And the long range weather forecast cold, wet and windy overall
...

So nice of Sean Radley in his 2010 Millstreet snow tour to mention my name
This well may become my only claim to fame
Such beautiful online images he did create
Whilst being driven around the snow covered countryside by Brendan his good mate
...

Down in the Saltpan Country the saltpans white as snow
You won't see many animals where only saltbush grow
All through the thirsty Summer the days are warm and long
In the dry and the bare countryside known as the Coorong
...

Two inches of snow today in Millstreet Town
Through the almost deserted Main Street cars slowly move up and down
And in the calm of the afternoon blanketed white
The old hill of Clara a beautiful sight.
...

The fields and hills and towns of Duhallow are covered in snow
And ice on the pools where the Blackwater flow
On it's way through icy North Cork to the Atlantic Shore
Something not seen or not often heard of before.
