Greensound
A poem.
March 17, 2008
'The sweetest music is the music of what happens.'
鈥� Finn McCool, legendary hero of old Ireland
The Irish ear
loves to hear,
or rather, feel
the peal of bells.
Sparrow chirp,
tea slurp;
someone's joy
a crying boy.
Gull yap
over wave slap 鈥�
can't get enough
of that.
Cows' lowing,
geese going,
leaves in
the wind.
A child's laugh,
the poet's word,
the old tongue
overheard.
No fool
that Finn McCool:
said the best tune
is what's doin'.
