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.

"... spotless celestial crew..."

Me three. Beautiful Cornwall. You have captured a sea shore laden with magic in this poem.

Some great lines like "....reurned ashore by the erosion of wind.."

Gorgeous poem.

I find myself agreeing with Alfred N Muggins on most issues. I do sometimes wonder what subject he has a differing opinion on with David Kirtley. It would make an interesting piece.

We can only hope for all of those things. If Charles and Camilla can make a contribution for the greater good then they will go down n history as decent people. "The Green King". Yes, why not.
