Celebration
Over the years I have written celebration poems for special occasions. They have given me great satisfaction and pleasure, to think about the occasion and the people involved and to write about them. Many of you will know that I my own birthday was on Saturday 11th November. To my complete delight an surprise my son-in-law Chris presented me with a book of poems by rupi kaur entitled milk and honey and his first written poem. It had to be part of my blog. I am touched, grateful and impressed. Incidentally the picture was made by my grandson Harvey to deptict his journey to his holiday home. Enjoy.
Circles
Or: an attempt at a poem on the occasion of Peter’s birthday
1945 -2017
Ever decreasing circles.
Ranelagh, Crumlin, Ballinteer, Malahide
Ever increasing circles.
One house, six people
Too many circles?
Maybe.
But somehow it works,
like cogs in a clock
ticking forward
occasionally backward
or stopped.
But mostly it works.
