The Vocal Readers
Introduction Yesterday I got a new subscriber, a fellow Novocastrian (I am just by relocation, not by birth, by birth I am a Prestonian). I thin I may know her name, though she is probably a friend of a friend although her Vocal profile is fairly detailed (though not as detailed as mine which has all my social media IDs there)

There's Always Another Way. Content Warning.
Introduction This is a Seven Days In post from 2015, nine years back, about what I thought were anger issues. While many things annoy me I still don't get angry. In my workplaces the most anger I have seen has always been from men and was usually excused by "You know what they're like" or "But they're good at their job", for me neither is an excuse when the anger happens on a regular basis.

How I Write A Pantoum
Introduction I have to thank Vocal for introducing me to the pantoum as one of their tags in Poets. So what I will show you is how I actually create a pantoum, and then hopefully you will be able to try it yourself without too much trepidation and maybe a pantoum will then get a Top Story.

Introduction Although the required form is acrostic, I am using an adapted butterfly cinquain (a butterfly cinquain has nine lines but "eclipse" is only seven letters, so I missed out the connecting two-syllable and the penultimate four-syllable line line)

Rebound
Introduction Whenever I am away I always hope to find somewhere where I can buy a record or two, with a preference for vinyl, if I find it interesting enough. I do have a huge CD and digital collection so I seldom buy things in digital format, and the reality is that I don't need any more vinyl but often find something that piques my interest.
