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 Science Meet’s Sound

Whilst spending the past few days stuck in a period of no inspiration. This had me captured and left me striving to find something to compose and still have something worth publishing here on the blog. This had me sitting down to write without anything to begin with. What resulted was something that came from … Continue reading Where Science Meet’s Sound

Trial by Faith

by Pat Fitzgerald, posted in Poetry

Sitting here loooking out at a passing storm, my mind wandered and the result changed a poem I was working on. The following poem is the result of a wandering mind while gazing out at a storm. There is nothing that I find more inspiring that watching nature fight back through any lies or misdeeds. … Continue reading Trial by Faith

Playing God

Beyond the Veil

I sit here on a warm, windy day to put this post together, with one thought in mind. Or should I place it as a question, "Who does the Media serve? Soes the media Inform or Conform? The Media Train that is seen in force these days have shown this point to be clear. Each … Continue reading Beyond the Veil

Oasis of History

by Pat Fitzgerald, posted in Poetry

Taking a break from the warm summer days, I enjoy traking walks along a route I spoke of and wrote on a number of times. It is an area rooted in history and now makes way as scenery back drop for recreational activites. Where History and nature combine hidden under a green canopy of overgrowth … Continue reading Oasis of History
