It's not surprising
I'm surmising -
To celebrate the Easter Rising.
Reincarnating the simple hope
That self-rule could emerge and cope.
Beneath high heaven's eternity
Mankind will hunger to be free.
It's not surprising
I'm surmising -
To celebrate the Easter Rising.

Spot on, Mark. It almost makes me think of breaking an egg and inside it is your poem (not I hasten to add a Christmas cracker) ! Nice and clear and unpretentious.

Thanks, Ray.
As a matter of interest, my father (who'd survived WW1)
& his older 1st cousin both saw service in Ireland in the
troubled years following 1916. The latter was a court
martial officer and was one of the victims of the original
Bloody Sunday (November 21, 1920) in Dublin.
Happy Easter!
