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.

A beautiful, autumnal reverie tinged with sadness at the life cycle of leaves. Just a lovely read. Paul :)

That's what we need - an episode full of cats and so many famous names from the Victorian era - Gladstone, Disraeli and, of course, Queen Victoria herself. Keep 'em coming, Jean.

I like the way you have woven the beauty of nature with the implied supernatural. Some great lines, of course. "... formidable land survive". A super poem.

There's that trademark affinity with the stark face of nature. Beautifully crafted, thoughtful piece about existence, our denouement and how it all sits with life, death and renewal.
