Site rename!

Hello to who it may interest..

For a short time the site will be under maintenance, but don't worry, it won't effect those who visit the page. What it will do, however, is evoke questions such as "what is up with this one and her disordered fonts?" and all that.. It will look a tad odd, but only for a short time until I fix things up.

Secondly, besides answering a question no one has asked yet.. I'll answer questions I have been asked, like "Joanne, do you actually still take the time to write poetry anymore?", or, "with the Leaving Cert, and all, where do you get the time to write extra..?" Firstly, I do still take the time to write, because I love writing. I could never just stop.. And secondly, like a dancer likes to practice dance moves and a footballer likes to practice skills, I like to practice my writing.. So, I dont see it as extra.. More like a hobby :)

My favourite question was "Joanne, why do I have to wait until next month to read another poem?" Well, I fell into a little pattern of gradually blogging at least one poem each month.. But, somehow I managed to miss May..and that's just disappointing.. But, oh well!

To conclude on the question front.. People have 'wondered' but the question hasn't exactly surfaced yet... So I'll just come right out with it: "why is it called Joanne Heraghty Creative Writing? Why not just call it Poetry? I'm wondering if I should change the name? Any suggestions?


The questions are great.. I'd be more than happy to answer many more, so do comment and ask some questions :) Suggestions and tips, in regards to the site, are all welcome too..

As well as that, thank you for taking the time to read.. And for the +1's and comments. I really do appreciate them all!

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 ...

All of Our Old Walls

I wrote this during a free class in school. Despite distractions from those so keen to read it, I managed to piece together what I would refer to as a simplistic poem based on the deepest, and most precious thoughts in my mind. This one is dedicated to Caroline , my big sister. It's very unlike sisters to be as close as we are, so this one's for you. I hope you like it. All of Our Old Walls The time went by too quickly, And we're all grown up now. Our lives have become different: But, at least, we know more how's. How to distinguish right from wrong; And venture through life's song, In a bigger world than the one between All of our old walls. As the clouds roll past on the table, And the words don't spill from my head. I remember all the days we spent together And every single word you ever said. I wonder at times, do you think of me? And our childhood as it's gone? To whisper softly in nostalgia, And, then, continue to go on. I hope yo...
