The Home Fires

Posted Mar 8, 2012 · 15 lines · 3 critiques

Oxen of the sun
birthing canal
Wilde on his rock
colouring banal

hailing Synge from afar

Yeats in Ithicabra
polishing his horse
Beckett in Bray
waiting in morse

Joyce yet awanders
ash thatched to hand
plitting a plot, plotting a plan

"One of the great loves of my life are nonce words. I have twisted words and sentences around until they squealed. However, I cannot take that sort of credit. I actually missed it. "Rollen". Very bad. Very bad indeed. I…"
