Hmm. It has been a while.
While school has been sucking my blood quite a bit, part of the reason I was away was because I started writing a novella which I didn't want to post. Mainly because it is composed of things I've stolen from stuff that I have posted here, and you guys would recognise it immediately for the copy-and-paste job that it is.
Anyway, I am here for now at least - and while I am, I would like to extend my gratitude to Francis at the very excellent Caught in the Stream who included me in his list of seven favourite blogs. You should now go immediately and check out his site - which is full of rather brilliant art, poetry and fiction - unless you are him, in which case, cheers again Francis.
I do have a tiny bit of poetry to post, so here goes.
Halloween
These clouds wash out
October’s orange dregs;
there are fireworks tonight
and I am in love.
Let the silt of these autumn hours
block sadness from my heart.
May I always remember
when everything was good.
