An Unexpected Meeting
The night draws in as he readies for home To an empty flat, all alone For a few hours he’ll relax before sleep Before he knows it, morning it’ll be He walks up the mile past pubs and bars People bustling by as are cars The castle high atop the road The royal mile has […]
All Hallows Eve
October 31, 2011
So today is all hallows eve A day reviled by Christianity Because they believe it linked with evil The one they fear who is the devil The Samhain feis though is nothing like that It’s about food and celebration, not witches and black cats For Samhain feis means summer ends festival in Gaelic old A […]
The Sound of Bells
October 31, 2011
He walks through the park to the sound of the bells Away from the madness and the city hell Ducks and geese play in the small lake People walk their dogs in peace they take He passes a pub so old and steeped in history So much happened here, some a mystery He thinks about […]
This Child’s Halloween
October 31, 2011
The boy wakes up for school all excited He’s dressing up for Hallowe’en, his spirit ignited Of what the day will bring at his school And the night when he collects his haul The day brings games and gifts galore Bobbing apples made him laugh all the more Toffee apples and fighting dragons He laughs […]

Memories of Childhood

Quiet Emotions
October 30, 2011
As she walks out into the world The past two days in her head do swirl Why does she always feel put upon Why is it that she is always wrong? For years now she has put people first Her life on hold, like a drunk she does thirst But people tell her she’s being […]
This Darkest Day
October 30, 2011
Today he awoke into dark skies Confused by time, oh how it flies Groggy he stumbles out of bed Into a waking world he’ll be instead As the morning closes to an end The darkness blocks the sun, can’t defend So he moves about in a lethargic way He’ll make the most of this darkest […]
Lost Opportunities
October 29, 2011
