July 2018
Summer-time and the livin' is easy.. Time for a small but
perfectly-formed edition of Winamop perhaps?
I must first tell you about Gary Beck's new publications:
He has a chapbook "Voices of War" out on
Atlantean Publishing, and a paperback/Kindle poetry collection
called "Blunt Force" available through
Amazon. What a busy fellow he is!
Also busy are our stalwart contributors this month, a
select band of the finest writers and poets around..
Jane Seaford returns to Winamop
with a super story about a marriage on the rocks and an unexpected relationship
which follows. It's called The Atheist and God.
Harry Downey is back with a story
about a cricketer, a dog owner and most exceptional man. Knowledge of cricket
is not necessary in order to enjoy - The Eyes Have It.
Martin Green describes a February
day in the life of an octogenarian living in a Sacramento retirement community.
Well, it can't be that bad can it? At least the weather's always nice in
California!
KJ Hannah Greenberg continues in
her poetic vein this month. Here are I Gave You Me - Some Boats and
Juliet Capulet, Her Nurse, and the Moon. Some of her best yet.
Sofia Kioroglou has written us a
new poem. I'm sure you've had a dream in which you were achieving something
wonderful? Like perfect gymnastics perhaps?.
John D Robinson
[BIO] continues his poetic journey through the harder
side of life with power and humour. Here are: What Is It? - 1st Time Gloves
On - A Vasectomy And Sibelius - A Bright Sunshine and
Over-Time.
A.J. Huffman brings us five new
poems this month. Enjoy My Mind Recedes - I Dream In Shark - Of Hive - I Am
Building and A Touch of Champagne.
A nice diversion from the tedium of another day on planet
Earth?
I must get out more!

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!
