Mai Murphy Venn Poems

I strike a match
And light those candies all.
...

It was Spring
When you flowed gently by,
I was but a child
When I wondered and questioned why.
...

A Stroll through Autumn
...

One summer's evening when rambling took my fancy,
It was out at O'Brien Pub, that I met the gorgeous Nancy.
Sitting at the window with her glass of mineral water,
Sure how was I to know she was Sargent Murphy, daughter?
...

I am from a tender moment of long ago
I am from lovers that went different ways
I am from a mother that did not want me
I am from a father that never know of me
...

The leaves are falling on the lawn
As I glance around at break of dawn
The colours are full of autumn gold
With greens and browns, I feel old
...

Christmas 15 is gone to the back of our minds,
It was different this year and so one of a kind.
Welcome to January and all decorations being down,
But now the cold weather's here and frost is on the ground.
...

Will the day of days come?
When all of us will assemble
On an equal platform called Judgment
That day, we will meet our maker
...

The implementation of a compliance regime.
Demanding money from the deprived Irish People.
Interfering with the Old Age Pensions
Stealing the money out of the Social Welfare.
...

The old man moves along Grafton Street in his worn-out rags,
All he possesses, he carries in his coat pocket and in plastic bags.
In his mind, he is wondering where he will settle for the night,
In the Phoenix Park, outside the Dáil, sure that would be all right.
