Northern Ireland Impression #1

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

  3. 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.

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

    1. 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.
