I'm writing this on the hottest day of the year so far, 31
degrees Celsius is hot for England, so I should be outside enjoying a cold
drink.
Before I can get to that I'd better introduce the new
edition of Winamop. It's turned out to be a good one too!
We have some old favourites and some new talent to
introduce - so I guess there's something for everyone here?
Let's crack on!
Martin Green is first out of the
blocks this month with a story called A Visit to New York.
Rekindling old memories.
KJ Hannah Greenberg has penned a
new story in the "Withersmith" series. The title is Misophonia
and it features kimchi and a sick hedgehog.
Andrew Lee-Hart. I'm always happy
when I get a story from Andrew as I know it's going to be a rattling good read.
This one called Familiar is no exception.
Mike Hickman follows Greame's
science lesson. He's teaching the children about Boiling Point.
What could possibly go wrong?
KJ Hannah Greenberg again brings us
a collection of her photography of flowers and plants. Here are six more
colourful images.
Terry Brinkman. Has a new piece of
art called Reflection. It's on his art page where you can see all
his other pictures too.
Allison Grayhurst
[BIO] has returned to the fold with this great
selection of new poems: Sinkhole - Unharmed - My Cup - Submit - I saw the
Face and Sing.
Michelle Faulkner, from portland
Oregon is new to Winamop and introduces herself with this poem called:
Unstable.
Paul Tristram brings us a new
selection of six excellent poems. Here you will find: Where We Cross
Swords No Longer - Distracting Tangle - She Blushes… - Desire’s
Hanging From The Corner Hook… A-Begging & A-Pleading - Bring Out Your
Dead and Crazy Like Emotion (The Poem).
Terry Brinkman again not only
brings us art but poetry too. Here are: Sonnet CDXXXXVII - Sonnet
CDXXXXIV - Sonnet CDXXXXIII - Embrace Bliss and Two
Doves.
John Grey always impresses with his
original ideas and fine imagery. The poems this time are: What The Dog
Knows - The Thief - Trunk And Spider - A Strange Death and
Kooks.
That was alright wasn't it?
Some good stuff there.
If you feel you have something to contribute please do so

page.
I'm off outside with a glass of vinho verde now.
Toodle-ooh!

Something you missed? Catch up on previous editions
by clicking this word. They are all
there, right back to 2003.
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!
By the way, we use a cookie to record your
page ratings, if you don't rate a page you won't get one!
