Samhain
The púca
Of all the ghosts and fairies abroad on Halloween, the púca (or pooka) was the most feared and October 31st was known as Púca Night in parts of Ireland. The púca, meaning 'goblin', can be malevolent or benevolent and is not solely associated with Halloween. It's a mythological fairy and the ultimate shapeshifter, capable of appearing in a variety of forms but most commonly as a dark horse or part dog.
Spring Solstice
Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice is an astronomical phenomenon that marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice occurs on 21 or 22 December, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. At sunrise on the shortest day of the year, for 17 minutes, direct sunlight can enter the Newgrange monument, not through the doorway, but through the specially contrived small opening above the entrance known as the ‘roof box’, to illuminate the Chamber.

First swallow of the year
Welcome, welcome
From out of mud in lakes
Were you resting there?
March
Unveils like a first thought
A whisper
February
"Nothing stands out yet", you said
As you looked over your shoulder
Broad and rounded, square and hunched
I thought I heard you say, "We are water
And over time we solidify"

January
Snow white egret
among fields of greenandbrown
Are you lost in its vastness?
Bubulcus ibis.
DE-cem- ber
Silver EEL migration
down river to the sea
on a moonless night
through
an obstcale
of nets
Cutting blades
pollution
And
Par -a -sites
White egret
December
Mild to touch, not yet winter
snow drop dropping still
daffodil
November, can I surrender to your dying
Are you truly dying or surrendering
Is it not enough to be ALIVE, autumn
As birds migrate thousands of miles, autumn
Of an inner stirring and outward knowing
Is BE-ING
to Our Mind
bor -ing
As summer turns, it turns
To autumn, autumn
The slugs and worms live at the root;
The slugs eat the juice of carrot
Is it good for their EyEs too...?
I buried a 'th' in the soil
With vowels and nettles
And I, this eyE, aye, oh
This What...?
This sometimes
Known thing
Doesn't kNOW oh oh
Winter take, take these
Sor rows, lay them
Deep ee eep
To become worms
for the birds to eat
ever ever
Denied to
.
