Here we are again, happy as can be.. yes, I'm delighted to
be introducing the late-running July edition of Winamop to you, our faithful
readers.
It's full of wholesome ingredients designed to enrich your
life - so let's get started.
We kick off with a story from Martin Green about a fortune
teller. They are spooky sort of people aren't they? How do they know so much
about you? It can't be true can it?
Now to Donal Mahoney, and his story concerns an old man in
a hospital bed and a visit from a well-meaning woman priest. It's called
Saving Tim Murnane.
I always learn a new word from KJ Hannah Greenberg's
contributions - this time it's "mirpesset" (it means a balcony). The story is a
little slice of family life, it's called Harmatttan.
Poetry now and I am pleased to be able to bring you some
more from JD DeHart. Here we have I, Leviathan, Play Pretties and
Stitching. If you're out there JD, please e-mail me!
The last item this month is another collection of
ekphrastic poetry from Neil Ellman. This time he has been concentrating on the
colourful work of Wassily Kandinski.
A small but perfectly formed edition of the 'mop I
think.
More next time? We'll see what turns up in the in-box!

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 400 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!
