June 2019
This month is often described as "flaming June" but this
year is more like "flooding June" over here in the dis-United Kingdom of
Brexitshire.
I've got my wellies on as I type this just in case the
heavens open again.
There's plenty of sunshine in the Winamop inbox though, we
have stories and poems galore. So shut the windows and draw the curtains,
there's no point in going out there and getting wet when you can stay indoors
and read Winamop!
Off we go:
KJ Hannah Greenberg is advocating
getting along with others. Who can argue with that as a sentiment in this
troubled world? Read Sugar, Spice, Earthworms, and Entrails.
Andrew Lee Hart takes us back to
the 17th century for this story of love in difficult times. It's called simply;
Gardens, but there's more to it than that..
Simon King goes inside the heads of
famous names from the past. This time he imagines the night before a big match
in the hotel room of Argentinian soccer manager Marcelo Bielsa back in 2002 as
he prepared for the FIFA World Cup in Tokyo.
Martin Green is approaching his
tenth decade and feeling somewhat upset by recent events in his life. But
there's always something to lift the mood. His tale is called A Day In
May.
JD DeHart is a thinker, get on
board his train of thought and read Word Bubbles - Take Two - In the
World and I Want to Be in a Comic Book.
David Boski's new collection of
poems is tinged with sadness. Here we have All We'll Have Left - Hours of
Chaos - Feel Better - Crying Game and Luck's Run Out.
John Grey can always be relied
upon to come up with some great ideas. This time we have She Was Never The
Crash Victim - Drunken - Disturbance, 2.00 AM - The 70'S Strangler and
Early Morning, Northern Woods.
Not bad eh? Now you've read Winamop why not put fingers to
keyboard and contribute yourself? It's probably still raining outside..
If you wish to contribute, use the "Mail us" button at

If we aren't carried away on the tide I'll see you next
month.

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!
