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.

A Country Lane

In creating and working on this Poem for this post, I decided to make a little change in how I had been writing poetry over the past few months, all to test if a Poem would flow better when loaded with so much within it's lines that such words that begin a verse Lie "Treasured … Continue reading A Country Lane

The Wall

This Bright Love

Continuing from my last post, I wanted to push for another Poem with a similar topic and thus provide another shot at this form of Love Poetry. Where no mention of gender or person of any kind is mentioned. This provides avenues for the reader to provide such things in their own mindset as they … Continue reading This Bright Love

The Silent Shadow

Which is something new … Continue reading The Silent Shadow

Youthful Delights

When permitting imagination to dictate where or what one composes in regards to poetry can very often become both an interesting and an enjoyable experience. Much like in this case, Which has taken far longer than I was comfortable in doing so. On two occasions I returned to the drawing board as it were to … Continue reading Youthful Delights

Nature’s Remedy

Composing and writing Poetry is something I love to do, Both as a means of theraphy and out of pure love of playing about with words. To me there is something very much completing within when I finish a Poem and this multiplies when it is one I enjoyed composing. Either it is my rather … Continue reading Nature’s Remedy
