July 2014

Magical days on the bog….

Bog pools give back sky.
Larks soar high in sound and space,
making the air thrill.

*****************************

A real butterfly Summer….

Fritillaries flit
amongst dancing grasses.
Wild pea climbs to see.

******************************

Occasional rain, some torrential, some gentle…

Umbrellas are out.
Brought on by a light surein.
Sudden blossoming.

******************************

On the Clare Island ferry…

The Island dissolves.
Translucent wake curves to mist.
Gulls shear the slipstream.

*******************************

Full Summer in West Cork…

Small, dappled meadows,
luxuriant with green life.
And butterfly swarms.
