*National poetry day today and @CanalRiverTrust on Twitter had the theme of ‘Water, water, everywhere’ so this is my contribution to it. Hope that you like it. Apsley Lock, Hemel Hempstead, Herts taken by the author Darren Greenidge She sits in her harbour
sleeping in a wonderland of dreams
Seeing more than her confines
looking beyond and out to sea
But here she sits imprisoned
rotting away unloved
Rarely going that far
never meeting new blood
Water, water, everywhere
but there she stays sadly moored
Anchored to the waters bed
that keeps her to Jones’ grip evermore
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...''
