\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The trio of Robert Burns, Robert Service and Robert Frost have had a lasting impression on my writing.<\/p>\n

Robert Burns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wee Rabbie is known as the Bard of Ayrshire, and his writings typify the peasant poetry which I like, in the vernacular, but rhyming, telling of the day to day issues, and responding to the topics of the time.<\/p>\n

Robert Service<\/strong><\/p>\n

His flow in his poems such as Dan Mc Grew is something I have looked to eminate in some of my longer poems.<\/p>\n

Robert Frost<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favourite poem is “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, and is but one of a plethora of fantastic works by this prolific American author.<\/p>\n

The Irish Brigade<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, of course the standard Irish influences have been of immense importance to me, from W.B. Yeats to Thomas Moore, to Padric Culumb to Patrick Kavanagh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
