Paul
I am a Brummie living in Northampton. I love to write but get distracted with other things. I love horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought. My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft.
I think that everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .

It's still a relevant subject to debate in public. I agree that this could be developed into something bigger/longer. The groundwork is all there. I enjoyed the real life scenarios in a curious way. I think we've all been affected by drug taking...

I can feel the invective in Alfred's words. Putin gone rogue sums it up nicely!

"musings now in poetry.." "Yes, as we get older we end up valuing memories more. Referencing them in poems is as good a way as any to preserve moments for posterity. Deftly done with an articulate, light touch. Paul :)
