Brendan McDonnell
Brendan McDonnell

Brendan was born in Armagh in 1958 and lives in Belfast. He only began to write creatively after attending a writer's workshop at the Crescent Arts Centre in March 2003. The group that emerged has continued to meet, providing a source of mutual inspiration and support. Brendan's writing is inspired by life experiences, with a special interest in his love of Gaelic sports. He has had one short story published on a GAA website.

Haiku by Brendan McDonnell

Trees stooped and heavy,
Forests of silent white troops
听听听听听听听听I breathe and listen.

Scandinavia
Vast, clean, clear, forests and lakes,
听听听听听听听听How I miss the space.

Scraping the ice,
Misty breath hangs in the air,
听听听听听听听听Fingers cold and bare.

Telephone Beep Beeps.
Startled, I just freeze and stare,
听听听听听听听听Damn, I know it's her.
