Eamonn McGinty
Eamonn McGinty

I was born in Derry and I still reside here. I attended Saint Joseph鈥檚 secondary school and the North West College of Technology. At the North West College of technology, I received a city and guilds in journalism. I've been writing since I was a teenager. I mainly write poetry and short stories. I've worked at a number of jobs over the years. For the most part I鈥檝e done clerical work and currently work for a local supermarket.

Day-dream by Eamonn McGinty


On descending, smells of
Coffee and toast, silent,
Empty passageways, and
Moments, in corners;
Secluded from the eye.

Sun-filled dusty rooms
With soft light, the drone
Of lazy conversation; and
Cool drinks, spilling
Over into the evening.

In the shallows of day,
Drifting inward, on tides
Of contentment, we wake.
By dark restless waters, our
Eyes open to the moon.

I am glad you have Eamonn's work on your site. I love this poem, "Day-dream." It puts me right back into such afternoons as i rarely enjoy (unless sick). All of Eamonn's writing has this ability to move us to some other place we might vaguely recall.
