Threads of clear water
Hold the city together
Canal-bound, drift-safe.

CENTRAL HOTEL
Back in the day, our getaway night
The Central Hotel, its cheeky peeping ceiling
could not have been more revealing
Hah! What a sight – no getting away
from me, from you
the set of us on that full moon bed
no hospital corners to fold
circles that couldn’t be squared
– Therese Kieran
Christ Church bells ring over
an Ché Adhmaid and Isolde’s tower
Grandsire triples method ring
announcing service hour
– Mary B Shannon
Christ Church Cat
Entrapped in the organ
in quest of a rat
Encrypted forever
the Christ Church cat
– Anne T Sheridan
“Christ Church Cathedral bells will chime
at New Year’s Eve & Christmas time.
– Catherine Ann Cullen
#C is for The Clarence Hotel
(famously part owned by Bono & The Edge)
I look for Bono
raise a glass
with or without him

Under Clery’s clock
never a meeting was forgot.
Under starlight and moonlight
many a romance sought.
Under hurry and bustle,
an easy-to-find bus-stop.
– Siobhán Mc Laughlin
Crying for Clery’s, ’twas once chock-a-block,
and countless folk courted beneath Clery’s clock.
– Catherine Ann Cullen
Croke Park
Division bell silenced
God Save the Queen
Amhrán na bhFiann
shoulder to shoulder
at the altar of Croke Park.
– Marie Studer
