A RIGHT BURKE …

Mine
Hers

Its
Ours
Theirs.

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’ are gatherings in collaborative storytelling, poetry & music. Curated & hosted by Steve O'Toole. At each gathering, storytellers/poets, are joined by a showcase musician, working to a pre-agreed theme. Thus, delivering a continuous, collaborative flow of original work. This is something rather unique & unlike anything currently available elsewhere.

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.

No Saving Grace, Poetry poem by The Write Stuff
Watching & hearing the heartbreak of Grace Lynch’s mother. Her heart wrenching descriptive last breath from her daughter’s mangled body.
Unfixable grief.

If I wasn't afraid of the lawyers from The House of Mouse suing me into oblivion, I would write and publish a superhero erotic fan-fiction titled "H*lk Smash!" Anytime Bruce gets aroused, the giant green sex monster inside of him is set loose to do what he does best: SMASH!!!!

All of which is my way of saying that I don't write for anyone but myself, but I wish that there were more than the (maybe) three people that care about what I write.

Do any authors out there use different music while you write to help find the right mood for the world that you're writing? To adjust the tone and pitch of your writing style? Or is it just me?
