Better Together

It's great to be back with my online creative writing group - we had a long break over Christmas. To get started, we wrote acrostics about something that makes us feel good and shared them.

Sometimes connection is the spark you need and it certainly flicked a switch for me this week. January had me stuck in dark doldrums, thoughts twisted inwards. Meeting like minds reminded me how to escape into my writing again.

So, having sent my story off, to hopefully find a place in the hearts of others, I am writing on. Building on foundations of experience and history, taking that leap into the unknown - only this time, not alone.

Happy arms

Understand the need

Giving Warmth

Sharing love

The Story of Us

Tangerine Jelly

Rusk-like biscuits at the bottom

Imbued with sherry

Full of calories

Lashings of cream

Eat it all up!

Tick, Tick, Boom

Thunderous, churning, sweeping the shore

In and then out, repeating

Dragging pebbles and thoughts

Eroding the shape of it all
