September 2022
Our sizzling summer is continuing into autumn here in the
UK, so the temptation is to be outside, not sitting in front of a PC preparing
Winamop!
I am of course dedicated to my work and so are the
contributors who have, err, contributed this month.
Before we get started I must tell you that KJ Hannah
Greenberg has a new book out called "Granny Does It, Vol.II" available at
Amazon.
Also hot off the press is Gary Beck's poetry collection "Double
Envelopment" which explores social, political and economic issues. Finally,
Mark Anthony Pearce's seventh book, ‘Shopping for a New Penis’ is now
available to purchase for £6.00, from
Hickathrift
Press.
That's three Christmas present ideas right there! Oops,
sorry, I mentioned Christmas in September..
On to the new material.
Andrew
Lee-Hart's story is about a librarian whose life is coming apart,
her relationships at home and at work are deteriorating. It's called Life
Seconds Numbering.
Paul Murgatroyd has a story about a
chance meeting, a face from the past. Maybe there could be a spark rekindled
after all these years? Read Jan and find out...
Martin David
Edwards. A family takes a sailing holiday as they struggle with
loss. Maybe revisiting old haunts will prove cathartic? The
Crossing is the title.
Martin
Green. An ant and a grasshopper went into a bar, and what did they
talk about? Find out in The Ant and the Grasshopper: Another Fable for
our Time.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg is back in "Withersmith's World" for her story this time.
Chet is busy with boxes and Dorothy is knee deep in domesticity. It's called
Give a Poet a Box.
KJ Hannah Greenberg again brings us
a collection of her photography. Here are six more - all creatures of one kind
or another!
Terry Brinkman. Has a new piece of
art called Crow. It's on his art page where you can see all his
other pictures too.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg again brings us poetry in addition to the story and
photography. The three poems are: New England Woodland Garden - Heeding
our Youngsters’ Artifacts and Skunk and Zebra:
Interdependence at its Best.
Terry
Brinkman's Sonnets are a breed apart, things of wonder! Here he
brings us two more, and a great little poem too: Sonnet CCCXXIV - The
Spiritual Life and Sonnet CCCXXXXIV.
Michael Lee
Johnson It's good to be able to welcome Michael back to Winamop for
the first time this year. Here are four excellent poems: My Life - Jesus
and how he must have felt - Most poems and Poets in the
Rain.
J.B.Pick was one of the founding fathers of
this august publication and there are many of his poems and stories on the
site. However, I realised recently that one of my favourite poems of his:
An Ode To Tea wasn't included. Well it is now!
Well that's it for this month, thanks for joining us and
we'll be back around the middle of October, probably getting confused about
daylight saving time!
If you feel you have something to contribute -
particularly stories - please do so and together we'll keep Winamop going. The
email button is at the bottom of the page.
Remember, tea in a cup does your moral laces up.
Bye

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!
