October is a month I do love and dread
Halloween and birthdays so many a head
Then days later there is Guy Fawkes night
Fireworks go bang, giving cats and dogs a fright
Shops and television advertise Christmas early
Money go in, money goes out listening to the blarney
October till January the fastest of the year
It’s a haze of madness, merriment and cheer
The silly season is crazy enough as we fight our way
In the shops and on the streets to spend our well earned pay
But it’s only mid October so give it a rest please
Stop with the hard sell, give us some peace
There’s time enough for you to sell us your wares
Give us a break, let us get Halloween out of our hair
As we have Bonfire night, money up in smoke
Our pockets and our banks accounts by then are broke
That leaves us most of November to save up for Christmas
Where we’ll brave the streets and the seasons madness
So stop with this time wished away every year
It passes fast enough, which some of us do fear
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...''
