August 2019
Oh deary me! We're WAY overdue with the August edition of
the mighty 'mop but here it is at last.
At the beginning of the month I was sitting here wondering
if there was going to be enough material but then it started to arrive - more
and more - until we amassed the super-abundance of great stuff which you can
see below!
Dive in..
Andrew Lee Hart kicks things off
with the story of Tobias Bennet, a devilishly talented musician with some
devilish habits. His journey through life seems to leave a trail of
destruction. Where will it end? Find out in Discord.
Martin Green has an Uncle Pringle.
He's a useful sort of fellow who knows all the right people. When Weaverville
had a little trouble over a statue Pringle was the man to sort it out. Read
Uncle Pringle and the Statue.
Harry Downey returns with the tale
of Miss Potter. She was a miserable old so and so, nobody liked her
except her cat. Then one day she wasn't miserable any more!
Adam Kluger was last with us in
2016 but now he's making a triumphant return with some fiction - and next month
some art too! This time we have Faith. Some days you just need it.
KJ Hannah Greenberg has four poems
for us this time. They are: Like Stars in the Sky - Select Taxons of
Behavior and Hospitality for a Star Traveler.
Vince O'Connor brings us two new
short poems this month. Contemplation and It Is What It Is. Short
but sweet.
John D Robinson is a self confessed
"poetry whore" and he's back with more.. The Poetry-Whore - Nothing To Me -
For J.T. - The Commonplace and Pardon Me. That's OK John we
understand.
Mary Cresswell makes a welcome
return to the fold with three new poems: Ozymandias In Orange - Lord Byron
To His Car Dealer and The Pied Pipers Of ... You will love
them.
Robert Plath is another returnee
and he brings us four new poems this time: empty & distorted - 4,800 x
an hour - existential fake news and ease.
Whew! Quite a lot to consume in one sitting. I hope you
found something you enjoyed and that you'll come back for more soon.

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!
