** I entered the following poem along with one lost other into a poetry competition last year and sadly it didn’t even get a mention. As my teacher used to say, ‘Must try harder…’ I hope you appreciate it as much as I loved writing it as it’s now for you.
Enjoy! Sandy Footprints. Picture by the Author, Darren Greenidge Sandy footprints she has made
Lost to the sea, can’t be saves
Sandy footprints she did make
Lost forever, in the waters break
Sandy footprints walked away
Walking on water they now do play
Sandy footprints forever they dance
With the white horses they are apart
Sandy footprints have become one
With the elements and the setting sun
Sandy footprints, memories are made
Into the netherworld they’ll now stay
Sandy footprints will never come back
For none are the same, something they lack
Sandy footprints stories are told
From the young who made them to the very old
Sandy footprints into myth they go
Into this world, we can never go…
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...''
