an all too brief moment
meeting an Irish poet
I was smitten from
the very first syllable
spoken
with eyes all a twinkle
though I
have never read his work
and will likely not hear
even a word of his class
a professor of poetry with
a voice like that
just to think
the angels I dare say
are jealous
will he I ever see again
how I wish the answer to that
could be
a Christmas present to mine eyes
for
joy to my world
it would indeed be................
