Darragh O’Shea takes a walk hence
Into the cold clear night
Winter has come with a vengeance
Say some, ”Sure, we’ll put up a fight.”
To a pub he heads this night so cold
For a cheer and beer
And stories to be told
With friends he loves so dear
His journal he has to write things up
So much has happened, unclear
He’ll write down some good things, he must
As he shares a beer
The laughter’s tears fall from his face
As he listens to the band
The singer weaves his voice in chase
With the musicians quick-fire hands
His day gone from bad to fantastic
Such a mixed bag
His journal always elastic
A story it never lacks
So as his night draws to an end
He finishes off with a whiskey
He says goodnight to friends
And a girl, for not is he frisky
So home he heads for his supper
And to write-up his day
It could’ve been worse, could’ve been scuppered
But ended up in merriment and play
So he writes his words
Having his say
Wondering if they’ll be heard
This the Journal of Darragh O’Shea

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
