BwS 1st Quarterly Review

I'm delighted to have had my work chosen again for the QR at Bewildering Stories. This time I'm in the Short Poetry section, the Flash Fiction section where they chose only 5/23 pieces of the published pieces and there's a link to my essay about 'Flight of Starlings'.

Cogratulations to John Stocks and Nick Allen too.

Spring in the garden

crocuses snowdrops

give back colour they borrowed

from last year's sunlight

HAPPY EQUINOX EVERYONE

Happy Saint Patrick's Day
