Darkness creeps in unnoticed
by the autumn sun
Who’s playing around
and having fun
The suddenly cold it gets
as people wrap up from the cold
Winter in the arms of autumn
has won this battle, taking hold
Squirrels run for cover
hiding in the trees
Wrapped up snug and warm
covered with bushy tails and leaves
As hedgehogs all groggy
try to sleep winter out
Bonfires alight
sending them scurrying around
Winter fights for control
Over autumns power and grace
Falls into her arms
showing a friendly face
But now she has control
This sister most cold
Winter in the arms of autumn
is a dangerous femme fatale to behold

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...''
