Beast Under My Bed – A Poem

Posted on March 9, 2023March 9, 2023 by AJ Carney in Poetry

Oh I remember it well, being so young that all the world was so very big, and so very scary. Like many children, there was a beast underneath my bed (or at least I thought there was).

The Death of Man – A Poem

Posted on February 28, 2023February 28, 2023 by AJ Carney in Poetry

It's only when reading back over my work that I realise how despondent it can be. It's not my intention; I write in a free-flowing stream of thought and emotion. Evidently I have strong feelings about the state of the world in which we live...

The Terror – A Poem

Posted on February 16, 2023February 16, 2023 by AJ Carney in Poetry

Ah, my favourite piece of history; the ill-fated Franklin expedition of 1843, the last great voyage into the unknown, at least until the 1960's. I've always been obsessed with this particular event, partly due to the mystery surrounding it, partly due to AMC's dramatisation.

Posted on February 13, 2023February 15, 2023 by AJ Carney in Poetry

Every other car in the world might've been nicer, and faster, and comfier, but the memories I have sitting in Dad's Celica will forever be with me.

Dragon Killing – A Very Old Poem

Posted on January 24, 2023 by AJ Carney in Poetry

A near twelve-year-old poem I dug up in my room today. Do you know what else came out roughly twelve years ago? That's right, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean... As well as the aforementioned title, Bethesda's ubiquitous Skyrim also arrived on PS3, PC and XB360 (of which I had the pleasure of playing it on).
