Donal Mahoney Poems

It’s midnight
and I’m too tired to stroll
in my Wall Street garden
to check on the nightlife
...

Hard to believe you graduated
from college 25 years ago.
Anyone who can climb
...

I was beautiful once,
the homeless lady tells
the young worker
...

You played Hide and Go Seek
as a child and you always won.
You’d find your sister
...

It’s a big book, a thousand pages,
a million words, a bestseller,
and the verbs are mad as hell
because the nouns get all the credit
...

An old nun sitting
on a bench in front of her convent
saying her beads was
...

I’m white as a sheet
believe me
one of those Yanks
who never before
...

He left a ticket
for you and me
and for everyone else
before he left.
...

Booze, booze,
never again, groans Ollie,
flat on his back in the alley.
...

When he saw her in heels
he said she’s the one so
he said his “I do, ” never to
climb a different mountain.
...
