About Me

Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, now living in Cheshire, England. I started to write poetry some years ago, as a hobby. I have enjoyed that new venture very much. My preferences are for long and micro-form poetry styles. A first book of poetry ~ Reason Without Rhyme, was published in December 2013. A second book ~ Fifty Seven Pebbles, was published in September 2015...I am presently compiling the content for my third book. Thank you for visiting my Blog...

Ulster's Way....



Healing waters lap its shoreline,
The Coast Road hugs the landside.
County Antrim peering seawards,
Glimpsing its Scottish neighbours.
Memories are easily formed there,
Most return with older days in mind.
Sunday afternoons with the old folk,
Those same picnic stops at Ballygally.
An aura of goodness seeps inwards,
It stays forever within every heart.
Many artists have captured the vista,
Painted, or in long lingering verses.
This place urges peace in its midst,
Ulster’s ways thrive in its shadow.

    What a beautiful reflective poem, Eileen. Some places do stay forever within a person's heart!

    (Glad to see you, Eileen. You had been missed.)

    This place urges peace in its midst,
    Ulster’s ways thrive in its shadow.

    Obviously a great place to be with glimpses of Ulster's goodness. Great for a visit then, Eileen!
