In my unformed younger days my speech was rough: urban, Dublin, demotic-- my thoughts chaotic, life was tough. I wanted more of life's delights: music, culture, art. A raw and callow youth, ignorant and uncouth, I knew not where to start. But as I grew, my thoughts cohered, took wing and flew to realms uncharted-- my soul departed into pastures new. The wondrous world of words opened up before me: I was entranced, my mind enhanced by the power of poetry. I'm still a Dublin boy at heart, my soul unchained: but now I hear, sweet and clear, poetry calling, unrestrained. |

The Fella In The Empty Chair an empty playground with a swinging swing telephone going with an endless ring a bottle of milk still full yet so old cheese in the fridge covered in mould tv still playing video still running the air so musky the smell vile an old men gone and hes been there awhile no family calling "Dad are you ok!?" terrible to see someone dying this way He's only been gone a few days thats all!?!? sitting in the chair looking so small just think of other people in a situation like his think of that person that noone would miss then one day the old fella will know that you'll come knocking when its time for him to go! written by lisey |
