The cow's as big as a dinosaur.
It's just grass and hay.
Black and white spots like a chessboard,
head the weight of a hippo's.

Rain in the Mourne Mountains
Black clouds shadowing the tall mountains
hiding the cairn
to which many climbers have added stones.
Mist slowing creeping in
to block out any hope of sunshine.
Cold winds whistling
through the empty playground.
Watching from the window
as our field drowns
in an everlasting shower of tears.
Bashing the puddles in the air
the downpour hits it, full speed.
Running outside as the rain
bounces off the ground beneath us,
dashing through the puddles,
rain pouring down our faces.
Black sky above
and below -
sticky clothes glued to our moist skin.
At home, a bubbly bath just waiting.

Sectarianism
People fighting,
people killed -
no-one is safe.
Hatred over religion...
are these people even religious?
What can be done
when the people with power
are too overwhelmed?
Money can only do so much.
The don't know what's happening
until it's written on paper.
But I know,
I've seen it,
it's all around.
No-one understands anyone else
because they don't even try.
What is unknown doesn't have to be wrong...
but they don't have time to find out.
Belief is just another reason to hate.
Children raised as bigots
grow up to murder those who aren't like them.

Amaryllis: Freaky Moment
Elegant ballet dancer
floating on air,
long thin stems,
legs dancing,
head-petals
moving gently
with the soft sound of flutes.

Rugby
Don't run backwards,
don't pass forwards,
do the donkey work,
score a try,
pass the ball,
kick the ball for posts,
forwards ruck.
Backs run,
run to the corner flag,
win the league,
win the cup.
Another in the bag.

Happiness
I'm like a gleeful elephant
flopping along in a lake.
I'm like a cup of hot chocolate
spilling over the brim.
I'm like a newborn baby
ready to explore life.
I'm like a million years
of a lifetime.
