I am a Brummie living in North Somerset 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.

"Do they engage in wistful reverie as I do.."
You have captured quite a complicated avian picture there, Jenny. The hierarchy of birds. Word pictures skilfully assembled in your poem.
Personally, I rather like corvids. There's...
