I came across this poem on another site and I just had
to share it.....I don't know what the rules are for
web etiquette, but I have given the website at the bottom
for people who want to find out about this wonderful
poet.......

The Irish Fall

by Josiah J. Eikelboom

We woke to the cawing of crows today
To the warrior's lament
to the Badb's call
 
We woke to the twilight months ushered in
to the fallow barren fields
to dead days come
 
We woke to the call of the Otherworld
to the tales of the proud dead
to their songs sung
 
We woke to the cawing of crows today
and to the swaying of trees
bearing cold fruit
