I wrote this in one of my favourite pubs nearby called the Rising Sun, a place you should all visit if in the Hertfordshire area. The Rising Sun, Berkhamsted, Herts taken by the author Darren Greenidge
The summer crowds gather
In sticky summer heat
Outside the pub
Some in sandalled feet
Drinks in hand they chatter
About things high and low
Some watching the boats
As they come and go
Then clouds a-gather
Building up fast
The sun long gone in
The sky now overcast
Some scatter inside
Away from potential rain
Forewarned by moody clouds
Fat with watery gain
Inside it is muggy
But all fit in around a table
Telling stories old and new
This pub heard many fables
Friends laugh and cry
On what was a sad day
Smiles all around
Friends now at play
And then the night ends
Homes for many to go
All sad to leave
But drinks happily did flow
Fast slipped the day and night
By and in a canal side pub
Shared with friends and strangers
In a place they all did love
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...''
