River Liffey taken my author Darren Greenidge
Ah raucous Dublin
you naughty lad
How I miss your cheek
and happy days had
Knowing winks and
cheeks grins
As the Guinness flows
and the whiskey sinks
My days there
were happy ones
Music and friends
and maddening fun
My walks into town
my liffy alive
and off to Wicklow
and Malahide
My family a short
trip away
Others across the
waves
But Dublin gave me
a taste of dreams
This Viking city
never as it seems
Blackpool it’s called
in the Norse tongue
Which made me wonder
of the other one?
For the UK has a
Blackpool too
Maybe it means Dublin
now I’m confused?
I miss the Brazen Head
a pub of legend
Old they say and
this they defend
Touristy it may
have been
But it was a pub
full of green
I wish sometimes
to turn back the clock
And relive those days
right the latter wrong
But one day I shall
go back
And for that my
heart will be glad
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...''
