Author: Pat Fitzgerald

I was born and spent my younger years in a small town between the boundaries of County Cork and County Limerick. The Little Town Of Charleville has a special place in my heart and one I always will call home. I have lived on the western edge of Cork City in the south of this country since 1988. Although I am a country boy at heart , needs were that living where I still reside was the most important. I have been blessed in my life with 4 Children, the youngest of whom passed away in 2001 at age of 5 years. And the others walk this life in their own areas. I believe that Our paths in Life dictate much in our future and our walk in life. But we make our own path in life by the choices we make each day, either for good or bad. My Faith is most important to me in my life. It is my Faith that keeps me going both in times of need and in the good times. I am a Christian (non denominational). I am a poet and consider it to be a learning process as I continue to learn and write. I also Poetry use as a means to clear my mind. Photography is more of a hobby and pastime which I enjoy and find it fun to learn a little more in this field.

Where It Stands

by Pat Fitzgerald, posted in Poetry

For today's post, I have a short Poem that I have battled with and tossed around for a while, until it came to rest as it is.

Before the Blackbird Sings

A Race of Pride

by Pat Fitzgerald, posted in Poetry

Author’s Note: This poem grew from an image rather than a narrative: an old man standing in quiet argument with time. He refuses the familiar notion of time as something measured, dripping patiently through an hourglass. Instead, he senses it as movement, swift, relentless, and indifferent, like a river that neither pauses nor persuades. The … Continue reading A Race of Pride

Untitled Poem

by Pat Fitzgerald, posted in Poetry, Untitled Poetry

Sometimes when a Poem is composed it refuses to bear a name, It refuses to be named. Sometimes this Poem carries content that it does not require a name or anything that takes from the content. In this Christmas Season, I composed a poem for the content that is and went with the flow as … Continue reading Untitled Poem

This Season’s Embrace

by Pat Fitzgerald, posted in Poetry

Working on this Poem I was caught questioning how to play? Meaning How do I work what I have laid within the stranzas? As One who is Irish and Proud, But also Celtic through History and what it implied. Combining my Christian faith to my toughts and beliefs, it becomes a field to roam and … Continue reading This Season’s Embrace

In this Poem I look back to days growing up, although I use imagry that may imply one way, The over all hint of childhood back then … Continue reading “Whispers Warm Within.”
