Cappuccino in Galway

Memories of Ireland

This poem is entered in "The Writer's Cramp" .

Life has its twists and turns
movies help facilitate imagination
To taste of something so rich and sweet would be grand
like a cappuccino in Galway

Great Southern Hotel in Kennedy now Eyre Square
above the noisy revelers
we caught a bit of sleep
and sustenance

Remember that trip to Ireland
starry-eyed and wistful
music stays in our hearts forever
as we age and sicken

All we need is a room somewhere
thinking about Eliza Dolittle
Comfort food to go with my beverage and take me home, beyond that ~~~
All I wanted was a little chunk of dark chocolate
