Awakening in January
Well, the winners of Writing East Midlands’ very first Aurora Poetry and Short Fiction competition have been announced. I submitted this poem but it wasn’t even commended. Better luck next time!.

Body Talk
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Music Prompt #40 “I Like You So Much Better..” by Ida Maria Why let words get stuck Somewhere between us When eyes, hands and bodies talk.

Further down, a fisherman stands in the stream, Casting for fish in his waders and vest, Dreaming of a supper of trout or bream As slate grey clouds […]
