Margaret O’Driscoll I’m a very busy mother of seven, grandmother of eleven and live in Bandon Co. Cork. This is my first collection of poetry and it reflects the things in life that are most meaningful and memorable for me. The poems in this collection recount time spent by myself and time spent with family and friends enjoying the simple but most important things in life and the beauty and wonder of nature all around. My childhood interest in poetry writing was reignited a few years ago by a desire to tap into creativity and also to encourage another generation to enjoy being creative. -
