Again another visit: The Old Head

In the past couple of days I had an opportunity to visit one of my favorited places, where I could sit and ponder, while gazing out at the ocean. That is The Old Head of Kinsale in county Cork Ireland.

This place has always been one of my favored places in which to sit and think over both the centuries of history and the beauty that surrounds this place. Sitting with a coffee in hand ( something I carry with me on such trips) and enjoy all that I see around me.

Today I have tried to create a poem that captures what I have seen on a visit here. Although the Old Head itself is a Private Golf Course, many visit this spot to gaze at the undeniable beauty that is here. Whilst unable to enter the Old Head we can still enjoy what we see and can only wonder what beauty lays in the old Head Kinsale County Cork.

I cannot write enough to do it justice and I could never write enough that would explain the peace and enjoyment I find on a visit here. Thus this little poem is meant to cover this, My only hope is that this does a little justice for this.

Having said this, Please enjoy:

The Old Head



Again sitting near the Old head thus clear,
As the waves kiss the rocks below, no fear.
The gulls in the distance appear to dance,
While they battle sea and wind at first glance.


Scattered amongst the rocky cliffs they nest,
Where waves appear to answer their call, blessed.
Behind me a lone gull calls for its mate,
Perched on a tower it sits and does wait.


On the cliff tops tourists wander about,
Their chatter almost matches gulls call out.
While lovers take time to stroll alone there,
And cuddle hidden by the views they dare.


The Golf course that occupies the Old Head,
Remains quiet today members there stead.
The few who enter are greeted by views,
No others can admire, shame decays muse.


Seated with coffee in hand I enjoy,
Gazing at scenery nought could annoy.
Many view enjoy at ease sights now seen,
Ever keen thus seated here one has been.
