Late last night I finished today's poem, but felt it was too late to spend extra time writing and working on this post and publish. Therefore I left that work for today and as you will notice this post carries a topic that I believe is far more widespread than people give credit for. Loneliness … Continue reading A Shroud Loneliness Hides

Old Dog’s and New Tricks
From the first days that I started to write poetry, I found myself set to experiment on how I wriote poetry and even certain styles and patterns. Once I returned to education in the 1990's I found myself influenced more so by certain poets and inspired in other ways by John Donne (1572 - 1631 … Continue reading Old Dog’s and New Tricks
Life’s Walk
I know many writers and poets go through periods of time when one struggles to get motivated enough to sit and compose such creative pieces as the poem below.

The Lost World of Imagination
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.

Yet still after what appears to be hours, you are no wiser, nor any closer to finding some form of understanding to their statements. This is the basic understanding one should take when reading todays poem. From reading first time, … Continue reading He Said
Did You Ever
There are times when my mind wanders through what appears like fields of thoughts and endless questions. All seek to spend time filling space within an endless void, as it were. Whilst we live in a world that seeks to question where our brother or sister kind who wander roads that we view as wrong, … Continue reading Did You Ever
Storm Day Musing
After a night in which Thunder storms moved through pretty much most of the country over night and a little part of the morning, I found myself caught up in a mind that wandered through its own storm of pointless words sentences etc. Thus is the starting point for todays poem. I believe that one … Continue reading Storm Day Musing
Ode to Truth
Not being one who functions well in what I feel to be extreme heat, I struggled today for many hours to sit for long enough and compose. Here we have seen temperatures reaching 30 degrees celcius. I realise that very many will look at that and laugh. BUT on an island like Ireland where weather … Continue reading Ode to Truth
