Johnny Mac @johnnythecow.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Oh the Green and Red of Mayo I can see it still, Its soft and craggy boglands Its tall majestic hills.

Johnny Mac @johnnythecow.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Sea-hunters, bog-cutters, those who lit the beacon for the lost armada of musket men. In the country of apparitions a gust becomes a gale, commodious enough to lift up and carry away the Céide Fields and famine village harboured in the glen. The History of Fog, Gerard Smyth #clewbay #poetry 062
Johnny Mac @johnnythecow.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Where the wandering water gushes, from the hills above Glencar. In pools among the rushes that scarce could bathe a star we seek for slumbering trout, and whispering in their ears give them unquiet dreams. Leaning softly out from ferns that drop their tears over the young streams. W B Yeats 030
