Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends and
jolly good company!
That's what the song says anyway.. It's from 1931 so
goodness knows why it's in my head. I may be old but I'm not that
old!
However interesting old music-hall cobblers might be I
must concentrate on introducing the new edition of the mighty 'mop.
It's a good one this time with lots of stories. Talking of
stories, Christmas will soon be upon us so I'd welcome any seasonal
contributions for the December edition. You know what to do..
Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, there's this
fine edition to peruse first.
Andrew
Lee-Hart is welcome back on here any time. This story is an
unsettling tale of a man who becomes seriously disorientated. Read
Daemons - but don't have nightmares!
Michael
Smith is back with another story. We're off storm-chasing in Iowa
with the youngsters. Do they even know about the great achievements in the
space race? The story is called Iowan Old Style .
Gary
Hewitt brings us the story of a space mission with an unexpected
destination. What will they discover when they land on Venus? The title is
Eating In.
Martin
Green is one of our regulars. Here we find Paul Lerner going through
the motions in his later life. There's not a lot going on.. After all, it's
just Another Day.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg. Here we meet Shernika, she's in her safe room. There's a
war going on outside but she has a can of chickpeas to enjoy. The problem is
that she is Without Can Openers .
Simon
King takes a peek into the life of Honore de Balzac, one of France's
most prolific novelists (and coffee drinkers). It's called Balzac of
course..
Terry Brinkman has a great new
piece of art called Tetons. It's on his art page where you can
see all his other pictures too.
KJ Hannah Greenberg again brings us
a collection of her photographic art. It's all about succulents this
time!
Orbindu
Ganga is back with another new poem. This one is called Hymn
Of The Arcane Night .
KJ Hannah
Greenberg has two new poems for us today. These are in darker mood.
Here we have: Abecedarian and Vellus Hair.
Terry
Brinkman has some new poems for us: Last Night with my Sister
- Camp Fire - Farthing Strings and one Sonnet Sonnet
CLXXXXV.
That's all we have time for today.

going. The email button is at the bottom of this page.
I'm off to sweep up some more leaves and pile them into a
neat stack so that the wind can re-distribute them all over the place
again.
Bye for now.

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!
