I am a Brummie living in Northampton who loves to write but gets distracted with other things. I enjoy horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought.

My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft. Everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .

I have work published by AlienBuddha Press, Loft Books, BlackBough Poems, DarkWinter Literary Magazine and Paragraph Planet.

Love that second stanza - the mantra of the floating voter! Yes, I guess the House does always win in the end. We are all here for their amusement...

"...sturdy hedge recovers, perennially remains." The wonder of nature. It's a glorious thing. Enjoyed the poem, of course. Paul

I am aware of King Crimsom but never listened to any of their stuff. Old Putinpot and the Lie Factory - still working hard through those Russian trolls!

It sounds like Mr and Mrs Muggins teamed up well to overcome their issues. And being seduced by Turkish music sounds like a good thing!
