And The Stars Won't Mind

Introduction

Welcome to the website of Michael James Treacy: a tall, not too dark, not very handsome man with one wife, three children, one grandchild, one cat and a funny leg. He fancies himself a writer and claims that poetry is the vocabulary of his heart, soul, mind, and occasionally his rear end.

Along The Highway features poetry from down the road, around the corner, across the street and just along the highway of life. Some of the language is ‘contemporary’ in nature, so please don’t read if you’re easily offended.

A Young Man's Fancy features poetry about the misadventures of a young man in search of the elixir of life: young women. You may recognise yourself or someone else here.

The Z Factor features poetry about the thoughts, interactions, tears and inspirations concerning encounters with some of life’s special people.

The Spirit Of Sir Jest features humorous poetry. Gentle, daft, ironic, hilarious and bizarre humour is on display… reader discretion is advised.

Days Of Thunder features poetry about those certain days that leave you breathless, pondering, fuming, laughing or crying.

A Friend Of A Friend features poetry about ordinary and extraordinary people that you meet along the way. See anyone you know?

Then The Rain Came features poetry about the downside of mankind. Some of these poems may cause offence.

The Limbalinglings features poems and stories that are only suitable for children under 99 years of age.

Don't Tell Granddad features stories that are not suitable for your granddad to read. He’s probably a nice old man and you must keep some secrets from him.

Don't Tell Mother features stories that you must not allow your mother to see: she would not understand.

Don't Tell Anyone features stories that no one should read. In fact, they should not have been posted on the Internet in the first place.

The Links page contains web links to various literary sites and to the websites and web pages of kindred spirits. If you'd like to have a link to a site featured on this page, please contact Michael: he's very accommodating.

The Guest Book is the place to leave comments. Please note that the author loves bananas, apples and pears but is not too fond of big raspberries.

If the words stir any emotion in you, feel free to contact him via email. He welcomes interaction in cyberspace with all kindred spirits. If any of the words offend you, don't read any more… have a nice cuppa cocoa and he'll catch you anon. He's actually looking for like-minded individuals to join him in a mission to storm the gates of hell and laugh auld Beelzebub into oblivion.
