I Found the Sea

By Jane Hyphen on Tue, 26 Sep 2023

On a long walk I found the sea Blinding and expansive I heard it, breaking up In the final fades Of a drawn out song The strings of the forest...

Is That All There Is

By Jane Hyphen on Sat, 26 Aug 2023

Chuck sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his hands. They were smooth, like the hands of a younger man, untouched by hard graft. He was a...

His Bit of Fluff

By Jane Hyphen on Sat, 19 Aug 2023

'There's Dave with his bit of fluff,’ The four men all turned their heads towards the entrance, stared for a few seconds, made a few mocking grunts...

Blueberry - Part Three

By Jane Hyphen on Tue, 25 Jul 2023

Think Sandra, think, think, think. Guessing the correct password for Ben’s laptop would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. She tried:...

People who rile us the most

Posted on Thu, 05 Oct 2023

People who rile us the most can be missed in ways we never expected. 'a cracked mirror of resentment', grinding words which epitomise loss and confusion.

Ew that sounds eye-wateringly

Posted on Tue, 26 Sep 2023

Ew that sounds eye-wateringly painful, the intensity of the situation expressed so clearly in your piece. I remember the inner fire which drives you to do crazy things when you're young, whatever the consequences, the future didn't matter. I was...

Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023

Wonderfully done Jenny. There is no greater playground than the woods. I was fortunate enough to attend a primary school bordered by a strip of woodland which we were not supposed to enter but of course we did. Love, 'branches appear to stoop...

Posted on Sun, 20 Aug 2023

You went to King Edwards, holy grail of selective schools? I must say, A levels seem like hell and I refrained from getting emotionally invested in my kids' results.

You've built the a sense of both apprehension and rapid change in this...

Posted on Sat, 19 Aug 2023

I enjoyed this arrangement of words. It's very different and got me thinking about how writing becomes so natural but only after years of learning to spell, punctuate and the rest. To be both creative and articulate, you have to dig stonking deep...

Posted on Tue, 15 Aug 2023

It's a beautiful trubute to a beautiful flower Ed. You could never get bored of such a powerful colour. There are some plants that never seem to give up, often the ones you don't fuss over. Never give up, a positive token from the terrace....

A perfect ghost story, really

Posted on Sun, 13 Aug 2023

A perfect ghost story, really enjoyed it. Stirring and charming in equal measure. So exciting exploring these places when you're a child although I get the impression it doesn't happen much these days.

I couldn't agree more with

Posted on Wed, 26 Jul 2023

I couldn't agree more with writing as a retreat and a way to harmonise, a release as in a cloud burst, only when you've got that flow though. We are so lucky to be able to express ourselves in words and understand each other albeit with many...

Posted on Tue, 25 Jul 2023

Thanks for reading Insert. I wonder if there was part of them that wanted Sandra to be eaten. On a serious note, there are a lot of dangerous dogs out there with irresponsible owners. A horror ending to the story could have been entertaining but...

This sounds like absolute

Posted on Tue, 25 Jul 2023

This sounds like absolute heaven. Maria making use of every bit of space to grow plants, useful or beautiful. It's interesting the way people will add to rubbish if they see rubbish, I think it's the same with grafitti and bags of dog poo. What a...
