Winamop apologises for the late running of this edition of
the E-zine, it is due to the internet being too hot.
No, it wasn't really, I was waiting for some more stories
to come in!
Many thanks to those who have risen to the challenge and
sent stuff in, I appreciate it.
Although the fiction is in short supply, there is an
abundance of high quality poetry on the site this month - and some art - so
lots to get stuck into.
Here we go..
Mike
Hickman has a new story for us. You know how old houses seem to have
an aura about them? Try Reaching Into the Gaps and see what you
find.. but be careful!
Alex Wyte has been doing housework,
and garden work. Surely he can't get into trouble doing that? The story is
called: A Spring Clean.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg's story is about a trip to Israel with a group staying in
a comfortable hotel. Who is that man at breakfast, surely he's not part of our
group?.. It's Emmet , that's who.
KJ Hannah Greenberg again brings us
a collection of her photography. Here are six more - kicking off with a blue
giraffe!
Terry Brinkman. Has a new piece of
art called Wolf. It's on his art page where you can see all his
other pictures too.
Fred
Miller has a poem about a singular type of insect, the praying
mantis. I don't think I've ever seen one.. The poem is called The Praying
Mantis as you might expect.
Mary Cresswell was last with us a
couple of years ago and it's great to have her back. Her poetry has depth but
amuses too, a nice combination. Here we have Advance Planning - Walking
With The Gods and Amuse Bouche.
Fabrice B.
Poussin has contributed many times before and these five poems are
some of his best: Acid Campfire - Beauty Masks - Still Failing - What if?
and When a Woman.
John D
Robinson has a feast of poetry for us this time in his unequivocal
style. The poems are: Read This - All About You - Anna - Burn Out
and Studio Work.
Tohm
Bakelas is back for the first time in 2022 with a collection of
three new poems which I am very happy to present to you. They are: a poem
for me - detritus and stone masons.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg again brings us poetry in addition to the story and
photography. The three poems are: Gibbous - This Grand, Grand Glorious
Day and Advocating Reform not Dialogue.
Terry
Brinkman's Sleepy Whale poems follow Irish lore, as James Joyce
Ulysses. Here are four more: Sleepy Whale 338 through to
Sleepy Whale 341.
A mighty fine selection once again I think.
If you feel you have something to contribute -
particularly stories - please do so and together we'll keep Winamop going. The

I'm off to do a rain-dance 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!
