Introduction

So I finally decided to start my own website. Yes, copycat says he, but with suggestions from a couple of friends and absolute strangers, it seemed like a good idea to actually put my literature up for viewing and hopefully, I'll recieve some feedback from many other sources.

The first time I got the idea for the website was when a woman approached me at a Poetry festival back in June and told me that my poetry was something to be admired and she wished to see more. Of course, since we're all going technical, my work isn't going to be seen sitting in a box on my bedroom floor, now is it?

My wish is that I do get feedback.. I hope to become established as a writer. Even if it were only by a small crowd, that would be huge for me!

I will appreciate comments with opinions, tips and suggestions but any negative inputs will be removed from the page. That's more for my own sake. Thanks :)

Of course, it's going to take a while to get the page properly going, but once I get settled, there shouldn't be too much messing around.

I'd like to thank Liam Roddy for the encouragement that pushed me to believe in myself and just go ahead and post my poetry. I should say thanks to Thomas Sutton, for helping me to regain my faith toward the internet.. I had almost given up.. And to Miss McArt, my English teacher, whom has been working me really hard to ensure I reach my full potential (I havn't got there yet, but I'm on my way!) Other than that, to everyone who puts in their best efforts to support me on a daily basis - Thank you! Please, never stop!

I will post whatever I consider suitable... We'll see how far that gets! Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.. Loads to come!

Fan-tastic

May the 4th be with you all guys! Okay, so my next one is a tribute to my big sister - whom is celebrating her birthday today. I wrote it yesterday while I was out and about. As many of ye might recall, this is one of the most difficult weeks of the year for us, with Michael's birthday and anniversary - but Caroline's birthday just slots in there, and I thought it would be nice to pull together some words just for her. So I hope you appreciate the name choice, I had a nice wee giggle for myself. Happy Birthday, Caroline.. This is for you. ♥♥♥ Fan-tastic Take the following words, And bring them with you through your life. I want you to know you’re a fantastic person: Sister, mother, daughter and wife. You give everything your best efforts, Even when it feels like the whole world’s on your plate. You may have a load of ridiculous habits, But what counts is your utmost good faith. You’ve taught me lessons no tutor could teach me. You’ve prepared me for the worl...

Christmas 2014

Hey guys! Merry Christmas to you all, and I really hope ye all had a great one! I still can't believe 2014 is almost over.. But I won't start ranting on about it again, don't worry. Instead, I just wanted to catch up on a few things I've fallen back on over the past few months. Between the blog, my personal writing, and the life that I keep subtly bringing into context with my blog posts. Firstly, "Metaphoric Ends" was a complete hit, Katherine loved it.. which made me very happy, I might add. :) We generally grow to love the people we can't. But despite the inconvenience, we still love them. Katherine is one of those people.. ♥ Also... I had completely forgotten about this, and I cannot believe I did! Back in November, the President of Ireland, Michael D, Higgins, came to my national school to celebrate a centenary... Considering he too is a poet, as a gift, the organisers put together a collage of poems written by locals. Two of my personal poems ...

Endorphins

Hello again, I know it hasn't been too long since my last update.. But ever since I put "Daymare" on the site, I've felt a little uneasy.. I'm trying to find the right words to explain it, but I can't. Daymare has a certain dark quality to it that has created a negative atmosphere on the blog.. and, for that reason, I want to change it. Of course, I can't recant my post.. I mean, I could delete it, obviously.. But that's not what I mean. I can't undo what is written. Daymare has to be one of my favourite pieces, mostly because it hits something inside that I can't even put into words. Yes, wordless... that's unusual for me! Anyway, I did say I was posting poetry that sort of reflects my life as it currently is.. So with that in mind, here's my next one. I wrote Endorphins while waiting for two of my college mates to meet me for project work. It was a Sunday and the weather was lovely.. The sun was on my face, there was a light...
