I was a bit worried about this edition a couple of weeks
ago but it's actually turned out to be a good 'un!
We have five splendid stories, two art collections and
three poetry collections (plus one more piece of art) for you to enjoy.
Before we get started I must tell you that Gary Beck's new
poetry book "Learning Curve" is out at
Amazon.
Here we go..

Andrew Lee-Hart has a new story for
us called Courante where we meet Marta, a German in London after
the war. She's in London but her loyalty is to Berlin.

KJ Hannah Greenberg. We are back in
"Withersmith's World" this time and Dorothy has some life-changing news for
Chet. You may be able to guess what when you see that the title is And
Then There were Three.

Martin David Edwards has a story of
two men who both like feeding ducks. In fact they both like feeding the same
duck! It's a Duck Off in the park.

Harry Downey's story concerns a
group of people on a wild-life safari and their strange companion Wilkins
- Leicester who was something of a photographer. All went quite well
until the bee incident..

Martin Green brings us two short
stories this time. First we visit the planet Spielberg and The Council on Earth
Matters where we're in trouble again. Then there's an email exchange between
two brothers in the USA. The stories are 2021 Earth-Meet and
Pandemic E-Mail.


The unfolding head has some fine
drawings for us this time. I really enjoy his style. They are: Barracuda
- Si - Hackneyed Meats - Busy Killing Demons - Balancing Act - Shamanism and
You - you alright? and ladies, ladies.

KJ Hannah Greenberg has taken to
photography in addition to her cute drawings. This time we have Rosy
Starfish - After Twenty Years - Peacock - Chicken Little - Swimming Off The
Page and Of that Particular Ilk.


George Gad Economou has five poems
for us this time. They are: Wandering in the Mist - Another Forgotten
Angel - stepping into the Familiar Unknown - The Laughing Dragon in the
Meadow and momentary Sanity lost in Blue Smoke.

The unfolding head also brings us
poetry this month in addition to his art work. The poems are: My American
Friend - Relief - Rusted - Photographers - Napanoch - Provencal and
Gas and Electric.

Terry Brinkman has a new collection
of poetry for us in addition to this new piece of art called Lake View. The poems are: Tobacco Fibers -
Sonnet CCII - Sonnet CCIV - Sonnet CXXIV - Peer-to-Peer - Drink Beer not Water
- Sleepy Whale 386 and Sonnet CCXXXXVIII.

Excellent stuff I'm sure you'll agree.

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

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).
