January 2023
So here we are in 2023, and isn't it going well?
Here in the UK it's freezing cold, we can't afford to turn
the heating on and we've drunk all the Christmas booze..
There's nothing for it but to get on with the January
edition of Winamop. (There's always a silver-lining!)
So here it is, all fresh and new, starting, as usual, with
Mike
Hickman's story is called Ouroboros Wants a Word about
Eternalism and Fundamental Attribution Errors. His Ouroboros is at a
party, by himself, but far from alone.
Andrew
Lee-Hart brings us a story about a memory man working the theatres
in the north of England with his beautiful assistant, but there is someone
following them.. It's called Farthing.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg brings us an essay on the subject of Protecting our
Grasp of “Home” and “Self” . It's thought
provoking..
Terry Brinkman remembers happy days
canoeing on the Snake River in Wyoming. It was a great Spring
Break.
KJ Hannah Greenberg again brings us
a collection of her photographic art. This floral collection is heart
warming.
Terry Brinkman has a new piece of
art called, rather aptly, Alta. It's on his art page where you
can see all his other pictures too.
Andrea W R
Jones is new to Winamop. She is a well travelled writer now hopeful
that people will find the truth that lies between the puzzles in her poems
Thorns Torn From The Rose - I Walk Within The Storm and
Broken Glass.
James Croal
Jackson was last with us in 2020 and has returned to bring us a new
selection of poems. They are Having Won a Two-Day Trip to Hawaii - Google
You - Google Home Quarantine - missing home and Promise of
Morning.
Rob Plath Is back on Winamop with
three new untitled poems. Make up your own titles! R
Terry
Brinkman is also back with five new Sonnets. The titles are:
Sonnet CCCLV - Sonnet CCCLXXXI - Sonnet CCCLXXVIII - Sonnet
CCCLXIX and Sonnet CCCLXXII.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg again brings us poetry in addition to the story and
photography. The three poems are: “Fictional” Critters’
Mutant Eggs - Onions and Socks and Cat’s
Cuddy.
Not bad for an edition edited by someone with cold feet
and a hangover..
My sincerest thanks goes out to all those who have
contributed over the "festive" season, above and beyond the call of duty.
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.
Onwards to Easter!

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!
