Coral Jane

Mother and Daughter.

I joined Abctales in 2010 and my daughter Julia a year later (2011). Unfortunately due to ill health, despite having been a prolific writer since childhood, she only managed to post a small number of pieces whilst active on the site. Following her unexpected and preventable death in 2016, I posted more of her poems on my own account under her username, which seemed a logical step at the time.

In 2019 her entire body of work was published by Cerasuspoetry.com in a book entitled WAITING FOR ANOTHER VELVET MORNING, which is still available on Amazon (proceeds to charity}. Her original work still remains on her account Overthetop.

I don't write as much now, though the occasional piece pops up once in a while.

Home is where the art is

I knew just where I was this time yesterday - the old familiar smells of linseed turps and oils, sounds of easels dragging over dusty floorboards - clips klinking, restraining

I'm not sure whether you meant "liqueur" or "liquor" and apostrophe missing from "don't"...but really I'm nit-picking as I liked this a lot.

Read it twice, just to get the right 'feel'...and yes, it's all there, quirky, original and very real.

Way back when, in days of yore, I was a painter and this is a magical piece - mixed media, multi-layered, superb.  No wonder you love writing...
