Writing poetry is an enormous relief to ease pressures of the day, but also there is a love for poetry and yet a sense of perfectionist within me to want pieces to be perfect to my eyes and taste.. Never the less below are two of my recent creations... I have a particular theme in … Continue reading A couple of New Poems
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.

Backbites Travels was meant as entertainment and a form of encouraging the child to embrace their imagination. The reaction by each of my children was different to say … Continue reading Children’s Story
My Growth in Style
Back in the mid to late 1980's I started writing poetry as a means of getting a lot of off my mind as it were. But the rebel in me refused to follow any means of style or any such known poetic methods etc. My writings often resembled mere catchment of words entwined with some … Continue reading My Growth in Style
A Little Poetry
I want to share a little of my Poetry with folks. I have held back for a number of years from letting my writings known. Both for reasons that I would label as a Rebellious learning phase (in terms of my writing) and a lack of confidence in my finished work (if they were of … Continue reading A Little Poetry
Writing for the sake of writing

But gazing at a generation of a nation or people in general can become a … Continue reading Death of a Generation
Hauntings of Thoughts
Over the years I have pondered on the topic of Faith over the years and this is one of those occasions. But this is not a time where I doubt my Faith and the basis of such. But rather such a time where my over active mind continues it's path of teaching and retracing such … Continue reading Hauntings of Thoughts
