This one's a little unusual. Ends are pretty sad, most of the time, but as I come to the end of my school years, I decided that I should close up all the loose ends. It was funny, considering I'm beginning my actual Leaving Certificate examinations tomorrow morning, to find a piece of work like this. I scanned through my personal account on the school computer a few months ago, and I moved everything off of the account and onto my USB key. It was brilliant to find a poem I had written in first year. My English teacher assigned the class the task of writing a poem for poetry day in 2010 . We had to work in pairs. I worked with a guy in my year called Darrell Leydon . As well as it being my first poem to co-author , it was my actual first poem to ever write . It's a little amateur , but hey, we all got to start somewhere, right? I didn't make ANY changes to the wording, or the punctuation... I'm posting it as it was written! A Sunny Day It was the middle of may...

I've made it pretty clear that I haven't been posting my poems in the same order that they have been written. Only recently I have dug back out one of my favourite poems that was not just written by me, but with a good old friend of mine. As I said before, co-authoring poetry brings out a funner side to the actual writing of the piece and creates a sort of background story. For this one, it's clear that this fellow and myself are quite the pair of lunatics! The poem was written with Kieren Massie , on the 3rd of August 2011 , the best summer of my life so far, may I add. Thanks to all for that, by the way! :) Here it is... I just called it "Random Poem" .. (if you have a better name for it, drop me a little comment). Random Poem J oyful is the sound of the air. O ver in the distance bunnies stare. A ll around me it's Autumn space. N eat and tidy I tie my lace. N ot only me but everyone. E nemies gone, yet I'm not alone. G lorious sunshine sha...

I had to post this one.. It was co-authored with a good friend of mine Aaron McSharry , a man of many talents. What was funny about this one, was that it was written during a lazy night over Facebook. And, as many of you would comment; we're not your average social network users! Additionally, I love that side to poetry. The side that gives you the opportunity not only to write poetry by yourself but with someone else. It makes it a whole lot funner and possibly even more entertaining. Imagination is key in this one.. It would be hardly right to conclude without mentioning, this one's in loving memory of Julie . Hungry and Confused I am hungry and confused, And very bemused.. By the lack of food I find in the fridge The food was all missing.. Out of the kitchen No one accused And Aaron was very very confused Julie had ate it And she did regret it As Aaron put her with the dust monster Into the lo...
