The heat
and the closeness of it all
Brings with it
those that fall
The itchy eyes
and runny nose
The constant sneezes
and feeling low
Weak as a kitten
always asleep
The only way
to escape the fever’s heat
Lawnmowers out
the devils they cut
As windows are
firmly shut
Then stuck in the
heat, no escape
This vile scourge of
summer do some hate
On to be by
the sea
From hayfever to
be free…
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...''

Not too often do I hear of people complaining about summer … so a nice twist, although I find my hayfever is worse during spring (all those new grass seed heads just get to me). Nice poem, action packed. Thanks for sharing.
Bless you and thank-you! Yeah, I’m the same as you with grass pollen. It’s a nightmare although as I get older I seem to get it less and less; just the odd day where i’m laid out and weak as a kitten. Oh for the cure!
