    Just a little poem I wrote the other day. Any advice/comments are always appreciated! :)

    Walking down to the sea
    I see, a seagull upon that iron globe.
    A monument to lost sea-souls,
    but people pass the plaque.
    (It's too hot for history).
    All heading for the grey-stone wall,
    the one that looks out to the so-called "Rat Island".
    Home in the past to happy hippies.


    I pick a spot on the wall so I can see for miles out and
    metres away. onto the beach.
    Here, I can sit and people watch.
    A most pleasurable past-time.
    Especially on a rare sunny day in Dublin.
    (though, believe me there are clouds above me. Dark ones too!)



    Lovely stretched out sea!
    A little fishing boat there in the distance
    and young and old on the sand beneath me,
    all amongst the chip bag ships and ochre-rusted cans.
    So, not everyone feels the ceaseless magic of this place!
    But in my mind I can see
    The holy Ganges, and polluted Yangztee merging into this matrix.
    Connecting me to all, and to everyone.



    Peace and love everyone! :jester:

    This paints a very vivid picture.
    Nice job.
