Oh what can ail thee Lana Scan? Alone and palely loitering? Come and sit beside the Lake, And listen to me sing. “Heaven knows when I might see, A Monkey in The Banyan Tree, Coming down to look at me Offering a cup of tea. “In times gone by I used to cryContinue reading “Gathering Grapes to drink one night.”

Sea
We sat together you and I, Late; last night. You, in your eternity, Breaking gently, suppurating sea sounds. Rocks and shells and bricks and mortar, Cascading through your daily slaughter. Granules of death to cool my toes. I sat, inebriated, Contemplated. You will last a long time, unlike my love; It ebbs and flows, thenContinue reading “Sea”
Heading into the weekend with some old ideas

10 Authors who dealt with Rejection.
You and I love to write. It’s a special gift and a privilege we have creating story’s, sometimes just for ourselves, for our families and friends. But we all reach the point when we believe in what we write and we want to see it published – and we’d also like to make moneyContinue reading “10 Authors who dealt with Rejection.”
Anna
So I sat: Two green, one white; Memory has gone as I can’t recall any romance. Celtic Firebrand? We walked this world together hand in hand a long time ago. I feel you. “Would you like dinner in Liverpool?” Surface sex surfaces. It was not in my plans, she said. “Maybe I will consider it?”Continue reading “Anna”
