November 2021
Late again, but in my defence I must point out that it's
my birthday and I am now very old!
Let's celebrate by taking the wrapping off a nice new
edition of Winamop.
Talk of wrapping reminds me that the next edition will be
the Christmas one, so If you have any seasonal material to contribute, now is
the time.
Just before diving in, let me tell you that Mark Anthony
Pearce's third book "A Smile As Sad As Sunday" is out at
Between
Shadows Press. Also Gary Beck's new 105 page book of poems "Turbulence" is
available at
Amazon.
I'm sure I've heard of them..
Here we go:
Andrew Lee-Hart takes us back to
the sixties to meet Clara, a once-famous actress then treading
the boards in small venues. She meets a young writer who may be able to help
her with her memoirs, then the trouble starts..
KJ Hannah Greenberg has a story for
us. It's always a risk to bring in one species to control another, especially
if the species you're controlling is human-kind. Predators’
Allies is the title.
Eric Suhem brings us a good short
story called Time for Evelyn, in which Evelyn finds her place in
time.
KJ Hannah Greenberg again brings us
a collection of her digital art. Six new eye-poppers await your perusal.
Terry Brinkman has added another
picture to his collection, now of seventeen art works. Have a look at
Fishing on Bear Lake, and all the others too if you like.
Vincent O'Connor is back after a
long time away; welcome back Vincent! Here we have two new poems: Rural
Joy and The Plural of “Beef” is
“Beeves”. Well I never knew that..
Terry Brinkman brings us a new
suite of poems, they are: JACK - To paint an Eagle - Sonnet CLX -
Thousand Oaks Shooting and Government Shut Down.
George Gad Economou is back once
again with tales of the bar the bottle and the needle. Be careful where you
tread. The poems are: Corner Stool - A fridge full of beers - it's all
about the game - Memories of an empty needle and the beautiful
the falling leaf.
John D Robinson is back with five
new poems of life in its raw state. We need a big red R for a couple of these. Making Distance -
‘Stay The Night’ - Finding Out - Susie’s Story and
Abandoned.
That's all for this month. We'll be back in December, you
bring the sherry - I'll bring the mince pies.

Winamop was conceived on a
whim, is run on a shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has
continued unabashed since 2003.
All human life is here,
experienced people, skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the
mark, sometimes they belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick
up the pieces and make of them what you will. Find out about us
here and about the site here.The contributor's guidelines are
here and the e-mail button is below.
We hope to continue to maintain a showcase
for new writing which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of
the in-house team. We have over 800 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we
need more...
Have a good look around and if you feel
that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The
copyright remains yours, and you could win a mop (unlikely, as I've run
out).
Jump straight to a category using the
buttons at the top of the page, they work from any page. Remember, it's all
free and is made from 100% natural ingredients!
By the way, we use a cookie to record your
page ratings, if you don't rate a page you won't get one!
