Galway Bay

I wrote this poem after a visit to Ireland.

Galway Bay

We sing

Watch the sun go down on Galway Bay

But the rain poured down

The clouds raced across the sky

Waves beat on the shore.

A Rainbow arches over the water

We race to find the end

But the rain poured down. 

Never reached the end of the rainbow

Or found the crock ,of gold

And the rain poured down

Huddled in the car

Watching the fishing boats

Red Blue green

Appear out of the grey mist

Fighting the white foam

To return to harbour

And the rain poured down.

We never saw the sun

Go down on Galway bay.
