November 2025
It's amazing how the time passes, November already and I'm
only just getting the hang of 2025..
The good thing about it is that we have managed to keep
going for almost another year - despite all the alternative outlets for poetry,
art and stories of fact and fiction. Well done everyone!
It's a good edition too with lots of stuff for you to
enjoy. There's even a new Page94.
Dive in!
Andrew
Lee-Hart is back with a new story about a man incarcerated in
Bunbury Bank, some kind of "open prison", for what offence we do not know. The
title says it all: What Happens Next..
Ben
Macnair is new to Winamop and his quirky stories are right up our
street. This one particularly so as it's about The Woman who Married a
Bus. More from Ben next month!
Martin
Green returns with The Latest State of the Universe
Report. Surely things are getting better on Earth aren't they?... No?
What a surprise.
Michael
Smith is back in story-telling mode this month and he is relating
the tale of a bad day in the life of the God of Love - Cupid. It's called
Love is Blind.
Gregg
Williard is another new name to us and he introduces himself with
this odd tale of a very persuasive character who wants him to go to Italy. The
title is I Was a Swim Pal in Abruzzo!. With pictures by Gregg
too.
Simon
King takes us to Montana in the nineteen nineties to meet a rather
unpleasant man known as The Unabomber. His name was Ted Kacznski
and he killed three people and injured many more.
Terry Brinkman has a great new
piece of art called Frog. It's on his art page along with all his
other pictures too.
KJ Hannah Greenberg brings us some
photographs of interesting subjects from round about.
Richard
LeDue returns with three new poems about life. They are The
Sacrilegious Present - Something Beautiful and My yellowing
teeth.
Paweł
Markiewicz has a single poem for us. It's a tale of mythical wonder
from the days when gods roamed the Earth. It's called She-Pirate and the
Tavern .
Louis
Marvin is a new name to Winamop and this unusual work is a
challenge. It's even called The Challenge for goodness sake!
John
Sweet has been away a long time.. but he's back now and has six
poems with him! They are poem of concentric circles - fade - [the hungry
and the hanged] - bells/no bells - mixed media, metal on metal and
the idea of god.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg has three challenging poems for us today. The titles are:
Vetiver - Jow and The Volume of Footfall.
Tony
Dawson is still outraged at the state of politics in the USA and has
more to say on the subject. Read Eyes to Wonder and
Hogsbreath Plays at SunTzu.
Terry
Brinkman has a vast collection of poetry this time. They are:
Corroborated Irish - Less Interesting - Heated Fashion - Spade and Stick
- Unweave the Curfew - Museum Cloakroom - Handkerchief Rag - Old Gray Toad -
Hard to Find and Salemites . Ten!
The end.
Next time will be the Christmas edition so I'd like to get
some festive material for that if possible.

Winamop was conceived on a
whim, is run on a shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has
continued unabashed since 2003.
All human life is here,
experienced people, skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the
mark, sometimes they belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick
up the pieces and make of them what you will. Find out about us
here and about the site here.The contributor's guidelines are

We hope to continue to maintain a showcase
for new writing which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of
the in-house team. We have over 800 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we
need more...
Have a good look around and if you feel
that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The
copyright remains yours, and you could win a mop (unlikely, as I've run
out).
