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.

I'm looking forward to that ".. delicate kiss from tulips". Spring is definitely in the air as winter fades. Eloquently said, of course. Just lovely. Paul

A funeral we've all been to. Man I adore that song and scene from "Midnight Cowboy". Maybe Dustin Hoffman's finest moments of many. Always good to catch up with your latest work, Mark. Paul

I love the idea of visiting movie locations to absorb the emotions. I remember going to Belfast to see the Titanic museum. The former shipworks are close by. The atmosphere was tangible.

Enjoyed your poem, Rhiannon.

My guess is maybe "Ratatouille" the movie. I haven't seen it so I am probably wrong. I do like this IP as I'm a bit of a movie buff.

"...and spears of snowdrops point..." A salient contrast of winter moving to spring. From the icy depths to the warmth of hope, succinctly captured in your poem. Paul
