About Me

My photo
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...

Journey



Placed my feet
Upon the same
Well-trodden tracks
Didn’t stop to think
Of that familiarity
Nor to question
The daily routine
Of easy comfort-
Worn- in like
My favourite boots
Until a day of
Unexpected change
When circumstance
Threw me onto
A different path
New and unknown
My steps out of kilter
For a time
Gradually I realised
That in spite of  
Changes to my route;
I arrived at the destination
Having left new imprints
Of a journey attained.
