Poetry







Born and bred
Cockroach heaven
A backwards journey
A conversation with my 10 month old daughter
A crimson leaf, Latin rhythms
A fairy tale
A full house
A good cook
A lullaby
A mountain holiday or getting away from it all
A Practical Man
A Vision of Wings
A welcome guest
After Valentine's day
Anything is possible in Ireland
Between the lines
Bigotry
Blank paper and rainbows
Call around and see us
Captivity
Distortion
Does Australia Have Flowers?
Easily distracted
Egalitarianism
Fermenting
Four Poems from the Aran Islands
Frozen mangoes
Have you ever seen a dolphin smile
I wish
I wish - a female fantasy
In my spare time
Lucy McGinness - Alyandabu
Married to the snakeman
My love is also thin
No Spring in Dublin This Year
One-upmanship
Out of the spotlight
Rejuvenation
See-saws
She Moves Mountains
Shrunken waters
Thank God for petroleum products
The getting of wisdom
The orange and the cat
"Thine eyes see me and I am no longer there."
Un-Australian
Wasting time
What fools are we
What I Miss
Who's normal?
