Posted on Tue, 23 Aug 2022

This is such a fond elegy for someone passing. I too am sorry for your loss Paul.

These lines stood out to me so much:-

Night comes wearing its cloak

Much love and respect goes

Posted on Mon, 22 Aug 2022

I'm in absolute agreement

Posted on Thu, 07 Apr 2022

I'm in absolute agreement with you. I did buy my first phone some months ago, but only to take photos, I got so fed up of it just lying around, never being used, that in the end I gave it to my son who I knew would make more use of it than me....

The view you've created with

Posted on Wed, 16 Feb 2022

Wandering through your poem,

Posted on Sun, 06 Feb 2022

What an amazing journey

Posted on Wed, 02 Feb 2022

What an amazing journey Turlough. I can never get over how much adventure you've experienced in your life. To have shown those children so much kindness, gives me faith that there are good people in the world.
