My stories

Cherry

I is for Icing and Ivy

concealing sweetness spreads white, on all made before lushly sheltering birds' first food in next year's store
Cherry

H is for Holly (for sale and for song)

Tied wild tamed by gold spray fussily ossified bright red in gloss green sway where feasting blackbirds ride
Cherry

G is for Glitter and Gorse

scattering sparkle specks outlast family trees bully wind's brash frolics fresh gold unfurlings tease
Cherry

F is for Fairy Lights and Frost

fossilised Life's dark fires strings of electric sweets skimming crystal empires as blue sky's bright heart beats

Cherry

E is for Elf and Evergreens

unseen hands making true lucky children's wishes their coats are never new but, in Winter, riches

enjoyable new episode, Thankyou :0) I still feel Precious is not all bad, but so intriguing what she is up to, and very stressful for Samantha!

So much great stuff in this!

Posted on Sat, 18 Jan 2025

So much great stuff in this! Gods of selfies, what an interesting/scary thought. I loved "sky licked shore" too. And "Slapdash wild Spring"! BRILLIANT! And the part with the ledge is strongly nightmarish, then "soft and adrift as Winter snow"...

I liked this a lot, too. How

Posted on Thu, 09 Jan 2025

I liked this a lot, too. How you describe the outer wide space of the beach, and the inner space each of us carries. As if afraid of another's footprints in one's mind, but also the possibility for there being a new beach, a new horizon, in the...

She really did! I never met

Posted on Sun, 05 Jan 2025

She really did! I never met her after she left school, though I know she got married, and had children. Dusty might not have been your type, either - would she have been ok with huge, poisonous millipede things and power cuts and cats breaking...
