It's "swings and roundabouts" round here. Some months I
get a surfeit of poetry and hardly any stories, and others - like this one - I
have lots of stories and only a few poems..
Not that I'm complaining, I'm pleased to have such a
diverse group of writers and artists contributing. Keep it up!
So, story fans, it's your lucky edition, but poetry
afficionados have something to enjoy too.
Let's get started:
George Gad Economou. There are bars
you feel happy to walk into and there are those which it's probably best to
avoid. This tale concerns a bar in the latter category. It's Just Another
Night of Insanity; enter if you dare..
Andrew Lee Hart enjoys a pancake.
There have been several occasions in this imagined life where pancakes have
played a significant part. Enjoy some yourself in Pancake Day.
Martin Green brings us a tale of
young people making a new start after the Korean war of the 1950s. In a hot and
sweaty New York, just passing time until life gets properly underway. Read
That Summer.
Paul Murgatroyd is new to Winamop
and his story is all about a haunted house. Well, it's a haunted hotel really,
should attract some kindred spirits I suppose? It's called Stan.
Harry Downey brings us a small
"Amuse Bouche" to finish today's selection. If only the door had been shut
properly this senseless loss of life would never have happened. Read The
Intruder.
Vince O'Connor has written us a
poem for Easter, a short poem, a very short poem - in fact this introduction is
longer! It's called Conjoining
JD DeHart brings us a collection of
short, pithy poems this time. They are: Valentine’s - Stutter - Gave a
Word and Write for Yourself.
KJ Hannah Greenberg has three poems
for us this time, they are: A Recession-Proof Job, The Momentum of Needles
that Kill and Scorning Dragons over Lost Burial Rites
I hope you found something you enjoyed in our selection
this time. If you feel that you can do as well, or better, then put your mouse
where your mouth is and send it in!

Cheerio and happy Easter.

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
here and the e-mail button is below.
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).
Jump straight to a category using the
buttons at the top of the page, they work from any page. Remember, it's all
free and is made from 100% natural ingredients!
