June 2025

We have a slight imbalance on the site this month; our poets have been very industrious and we have nine(!) poetry collections to enjoy but out story-tellers are less well represented!

I am extremely grateful to all of you who take the trouble to contribute to the site and I sincerely hope that you will all continue to do so.

It's the ebb and flow of things of course, next month I'll probably be snowed-under with prose.. who knows?

In any case it's all good stuff and I'm sure you'll find something you like.

Before we get going I'd better mention Gary Beck's new book "Pirate Spring" which is available Amazon.

 

it says "stories"

Michael Smith is a regular contributor and this time he has a story of three sisters with different attitudes to, and opinions on, art. Read The Art Gallery.

Simon King takes us right the way back to the first century when Christianity was in it's infancy. Here we find Arius who has some controversial ideas.

And so we come to the end of another edition of Winamop, still crazy after all these years.

If you feel you have something to contribute to the site - stories, poems art or music - please do so and together we'll keep Winamop going. The email button is at the bottom of this page.

I'm waiting for summer to arrive in Scotland and then I'll complain that it's too hot.

Bye for now.

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!

By the way, we use a cookie to record your page ratings, if you don't rate a page you won't get one!
