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...

Seasonal Greetings....



Transferred from each to thee and thine,
Warmest festive words extolled in time.
A December rush brings us to the cusp,
Collectives of gifts wrapped with goodwill.
Days occupied in deepest contemplation,
The scent of Christmas urges enthusiasm.
Children’s excitement and their innocence,
Awaiting that night-time of great expectation.
Thoughts consider those alone by themselves,
Either content in that position or without choice.
Gatherings between here and there together,
Efforts made to embrace this special occasion.
Written words as an annual exchange world-wide,
Seasonal habits connecting friends with cordiality.

Happy Christmas and New Year Greetings,

    Seasonal greetings and worldwide exchanges are indeed lovely habits. I enjoy reading words from people I have not seen in a while, at least once a year. Happy Christmas Eileen!

    I miss having young ones around at holiday time. I guess I'll have to wait until one of my children make me a grandmother. :) They do have that innocence that adult eyes lose. This is such a beautiful poem, Eileen. Wishing you a joyous Christmas and a fantastic 2014 full of wonder.
