Illustrated children’s book, inspired by the visit to West Kerry by Janie (12), Zander (9), and Nick (7) Sargent.
Not many readers ever got much excited about this one, and that can color one’s views. But the author has now re-read it in West Kerry, and he’s decided he likes it. (2016-2018)
Poem. Author knows nothing about poetry, can’t really understand it, has a few favorites. Nevertheless, under the influence of West Kerry (Dingle Peninsula) and (that night) Kilbeggin Irish whiskey, wrote one.

The smell of the chill of a clear evening after a warm day
The feel of first dawn when it’s going to get hot
The sound of silent snowfall
The sight of closing one’s eyes to listen
The taste of opening oneself to the glories of the universe
A story that started with a “What if…”
Another piece set in the future, when time is measured in generations.
(West Kerry, 2017)
sonnet for a west kerry maiden
(With apologies to Elizabeth)
How do I like thee? Let me count the ways.
I like thee to the depth and breadth and height
Thy form can leap, when galloping in flight
Tow’rd birds on beach, with all thy glorious grace.
I like thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet rest, when sleep has stilled thy might.
I like thee freely, as thee are free of spite.
I like thee purely, as pure as thy sweet ways.
I like thee with the passion put to use
In your young joys, and with a puppy’s faith.
I like thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost champs. I like thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears of your full life; and, god’s a ruse,
But I shall like thee far beyond thy death.
