reminiscing

Teatime. With Miss Wolfy Dunn You decide to wipe apples and cherries, the fruit glows in the bowl. The afternoon changes it feels heavy with different colours. There is a balance between fact and fantasy. The wooden clock glows red in places. Through curtains sunshine filters and the clock ticks... Sign in to see full entry.

Enterprise

Wartime. TIN SAUCEPANS AND KETTLES. To make an honest shilling I began filling holes in tin house-ware with shiny metal' It would be frowned upon now it was solder of some sort, but the old folks have gone. And they did appreciate my effort' They stand smiling as the kettle steams and the metal... Sign in to see full entry.

Toys

Toys It was dark in the toy-box, almost as if it were night.A fairy appeared just as they feared with a wand; she was dressed in white. She removed the lid of the toy-box and the toys all opened their eyes. A rather slim doll with a sweet golden curl gave quite a big yawn for her size. The doll... Sign in to see full entry.

On the cheap

22/02/2010 Upgrade. What is the meaning of life? Once the answer came easily, it was a freebie. A gift given to those who appreciated something for nothing. It is hardly surprising that it has lost value; so many things are in the same category. Only prayer has the power to access and illuminate... Sign in to see full entry.

Overcoat. Whiskers curl around the collar; I have the coat. Other shapes pass with an aloof cleanliness All perfumed and watchful; what was that quote? We were all made equal, well more or less? The heart beats sadly; all will be the same eventually Hands are independent; they reach out to a... Sign in to see full entry.

• Morning in the rain • I walk. The striking wet drips here. • Thoughts that swirl as dawn appears. • Drum up my cry. • The images move by. • Glued • into parts to remember. • Flaked and crude. • The drab dark wetness hangs around. • All the grey and gloomy sound. • The whispers of the rain • merge...

Shopping

As it comes. I hold my plastic bag and spend prime time shopping. Perhaps I fish for sympathy, I have imagined ills. I study a cake with cherries and a glazed topping. Would it encourage stomach-ache mixed with my pills? Slowly I walk the lines of colourful prepared meals, musing over strange... Sign in to see full entry.

Warrior

The Warrior I could call out. I see the warrior walking towards me and I fear that he will speak and invade my territory. My lips feel tense and I search through my mind. for a plausible excuse. My eyes are low; I hear my name as atoms part. The warrior glows even as my strong response of negative... Sign in to see full entry.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms. Is it disrespectful to wonder at this time about a strange desire? These imagined fantasies, perusing strawberries out of season? We are two mushrooms crumbling in the supermarket aisle. Your dress has similar small buttons; one forgets there was a reason. A meek smile fades, one must... Sign in to see full entry.

Decipher Plea

Favour flavour. The summer runs, the startled season binds the woven fabric of your love around a smudgy bar of chocolate feeling. Do I mind? I, who have tasted whispers and reflect, upon the richness of such flavours may neglect. to mention that this may not meet the quality control. The taste is... Sign in to see full entry.
