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.

Ah that's a sad image of the homeless as they are particularly vulnerable in weather like this. You have woven in the harshness of storms with a grey, urban backdrop. Nicely done, Jenny. Paul

Yes if only something would blow the tinpots" away for good. I'm not sure there is a wind strong enough. Powerful stuff, David. Paul

We all converted to the Beetles at some point. It's a fine city these days with the dockside area all redeveloped. That sounds strange returning from holiday to a different airport than anticipated. Enjoyed this. Paul

It's here alright. Blown all the bins over in the Close. You have captured the savage and the beauty in your poem. Nicely done. Paul :)

Thanks for reading it, Di.

Thanks for reading it, Di. Funnily enough, the more fairy tales, myths and legends I look into, the more are based on grim, true life events (or horrific tales) that get sanitised over the years. Still...all those romantic souls get to do their...
