Northern Ireland Impression #1


    Image: Coast of Northern Ireland by Mary Bach

You draw old words from a deep well
keening for the quick,
so hold my hand hollow man
and drown with me.

    Whoa--not at all what I expected. This is really excellent micropoetry, Mary--your trip is already getting your creative juices in high gear. The other-worldly feel of Celtic myth and music is strong here.

    Thank you Joy. It wasn't quite what I was expecting either. What an amazing place.

    Not a place prone to swimming activity I fear. Look but don't touch.

      Thank you Sherry. I've sort of mixed my waters with the well and ocean, but...I'm glad that didn't distract too much.

    Lucky Mary to be touring Ireland.
    Lucky Ireland to be given a voice via Mary.
