Picture courtesy of ngm.nationalgeographic.com BOOM! goes the cannon
deafening ears
Smoke in eyes
shedding tears
Screams all around
and cries of battle
Blood is spilled
the odd death rattle
A hero looks on
rallies his men
As he feels fury
for those that are dead
He’ll fight on
in their name
Lest they all fall
to a watery grave
Ah sweet Rose
a sailor thinks
Worried his ship
may yet sink
But he has faith
in his Lord
Not from above
but the one on board
‘To the Death!’ they scream
‘To the Death!’
They’ll not give in
for England expects…
*There are many sites and more about the Battle of Trafalgar so I’ll give you a small selection to look at should you wish to.
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...''
