This is what I call a nicely proportioned edition with
about as many stories as poetry and some interesting diversions.
I hope you enjoy it.
Before we get into it Bradford Middleton tells me that he
has finally got his debut poetry collection published by "those fine folk at
Alien Buddha Press". It’s called ‘Given Half a Chance Anything Goes
Around Here’. You can find out more right
here:
OK, let's go!
Andrew
Lee-Hart. So many people move away to somewhere remote when they
retire but then they end up all alone in a strange place. The story is called
Llanberis.
Mason
Beyermann introduces himself to Winamop with this story about an
eventful day. In fact you might say it's the ultimate day! It's called
The day I died.
Jon
Moray is also new to Winamop and he introduces himself with this
treasure-hunt story. It's called No Jake Brake. All will be
explained..
KJ Hannah
Greenberg. Owmapow has a great idea for a new on-line venture. It's
a winner surely? Find out in Owmapow’s Attempted Online Writing
Workshop.
Rachel
Turney, who has contributed poetry to Winamop herself, brings us
something a little bit different this time. here is her review of a new poetry
collection by Antonia Wilde called The Lake Remains..
Frucht-Schleifen brings us an 11
minute piece of ambient music called Set The Controls For The Heat of The
Sun from his 2020 EP "Build That Anthill".
Terry Brinkman has a great new
piece of still life called Fruit. It's on his art page along with
all his other pictures too.
KJ Hannah Greenberg presents some
more of her photographs. This time mostly at the amusement park.
John
Grey's poetry is always worth reading. This time I am pleased to
offer you: Wait! - The Fight - Cheap Beer - Elegy In Headlights
and The Swan In The Park.
Richard
LeDue has been prolific this year and now brings us are three more
good poems: We Can Never Be Sure - Somehow, It’s All Connected
and The Opposite of Silence.
Ping Yi
has been on a visit to Leicester Square, in London town. Did he go for a burger
or to take in a show, or perhaps a film? No, it was the Lego shop for him! The
poem is called Evil Overlord Is Just a Vibe.
Diane
Webster's poems take an original view on things. I think that's the
essence of good poetry. Here are: Polished Narcissus - Rainbow Speed -
Stroking - Whopper Story and My Own Two Feet.
Bradford
Middleton has been honing his craft over the years and his latest
poems are: Weekend Noises Outside My Window - I Dream Of Her - The Words
Come To Save Me (From This Dream Life) and I Toke It To The
Roach & Then I Sleep.
KJ Hannah
Greenberg has some self improvement advice for us. The poems are
Flimflam - Exordium and then there's
Unflappable.
And there we have it, another edition of Winamop draws to
a close and I put away the tiny laptop I've been working on and try to get my
eyes to focus on something further away than one foot..

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...

that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The
