In recent days I had a desire to revisit the art of creating sonnets, OR in the least improving my ability in relation to writing sonnets. There may be some who may not agree with how such sonnets are formed, BUT I move to learn as I write, thus todays poem is a Sonnet and … Continue reading Pipe Dreams Crash
As the title states and thus gives away clearly, todays poem is set to imagination. A round about as it were to encourage a visit to imagination where our thoughts etc can flow free from within this almost lost world. Too often today it appears from this side that imagination appears to be something that … Continue reading The Lost World of Imagination
This is another great Blog owned and run by my daughter, she is a tallented Photographer and (even if I as her Dad says so), her work is 100% well worth visiting.
Having spend a day without my usual walk that inspires me each time, I struggled to finish a composition. Every poem that I set to write did not match up with what I wanted, therefore I deleted and started again. This cycle of composing went on for quiet some time, nothing appeared to feel right … Continue reading Imperfect Musing
One topic I have put off for quiet some time is one that is of a Political nature. But I wanted to place the poem in a way that it could easily double for a topic that strikes home for any reader. I believe that poets in history either spoke for ie. were a voice … Continue reading 5 Year Song Bird Tune

Over the summer while exploring a few of my Favourite locations we visit every year, I set myself the challenge of looking for the photos that others might not necessarily think of or see. Where as someone else may take photos of the surrounding Mountains or buildings, I already had some variation of those photos.
So I thought outside of the box. I changed angle, I got down lower, I zoomed in on some fallen petals or the bark of a tree and I looked at the beauty in the smaller details. Bellow are a selection of photos from various locations.
Sitting in my little office late at night working on my next poem, I was experimenting on a different rhyming pattern as it were. But after settling on a new style I quickly reverted back to where I was most happy with. It appeared a little funny to me that the first 2 stanzas of … Continue reading Autumn Rainfall

Back in August, I was given the opportunity to accompany my best friend and her aunt on a trip to Allihies in west cork. Allihies is an old mining town, located at the end of the Beara Peninsula and sits in a beautiful location with mountains on 3 sides and a stunning ocean view on the 4th side.
Back in 1812, a large copper deposit was discovered in the hills and mountains surrounding the town. The Puxley family then established a company to operate the bereheven copper mines at allihies, resulting in the biggest copper mining enterprise in ireland and transporting this remote village into the industrial revolution. These Mines eventually closed in 1884.
Evidence of this mining past is still visible around Allihies, with the ruins of three Large Cornish Engine Houses visible…

In a rare afternoon where house was empty of life I sat and considered where my next poem would arise from. I enjoy moments of solitude to silently reflect or consider issues in my thoughts. Thus this began to be the corner stone as it were for today's poem. I believe imagination holds a great … Continue reading In Solitude
In composing todays poem, I as it has happened so often before, I ended up quiet a way off from the intended place at the start. BUT it still brings a couple of threads of thoughts for pondering over. I know some will have views that differ from that which this poem appears to show, … Continue reading Aged Shadows
