The Write Stuff Morning Coffee Morning walk Small Talk Sound of Silence Poem Poetry

The disturbed morning coffee & walk …

SOUND SO VIOLENT …
Noise surrounds me
I’ve lost control
Flows through my senses
Taking hold.
Head-phoned bubble
I unsocially move on
Drown out others
Lost in song.

The Write Stuff poem remembering Aaron Bushnell in Washington DC America USA

It is two years today, since I wrote this in remembrance of Aaron Bushnell’s act of defiance. Two years, and his death & cause, are still all but ignored.

Inspiration can come from everywhere, everything & everyone. A good friend told me a good thing about me last night.

MORALITY & MORTALITY …
You either have morals
Or you do not.
I was born with
And will die for mine.

The Write Stuff Poem on UEFA and Ireland’s FAI pending match draw in Dublin

NO BALLS ...
No UEFA red card for Israhell
But our FAI give them green.
Both now without balls
Micheál Martin too
It would seem.

The Write Stuff poem on travelling by Luas Tram in Dublin Ireland

Another day, another Luas journey, another thought…

THOUGHT FULL …
Amidst the phone users
My ear abusers
The lady sits alone.
Filing nails
Smiling away
At thoughts
I’ll never know.
