My Vocal Angels
Introduction I wasn't sure how to approach this challenge. I have written many stories about the women who have influenced and encouraged me throughout my life, but I thought I would concentrate on the many incredible women who have helped me progress on Vocal with their support and helpful advice.

Why We Write
I write for a variety of reasons, and I am sure that other Vocal Creators do as well. I am not sure whether my primary aim is to create something where there was once nothing or to connect with others through my creation. I certainly love connecting with others and love it when they are complimentary about my creations.

Jam. Content Warning.
Introduction This is based on experiences I had driving on the M62 when I worked for Yorkshire Water in Bradford, and lived in Leyland. I always drove, but the journey was quite scary, but the views were great, except when we got hit by heavy snow.

The Dear Departed. Content Warning.

Introduction I thought I would write a villanelle based on thoughts about mythical and lost lands and places. There are so many, so these are just a few, and obviously the villanelle form will repeat lines but I want it to feel like an adventure in words.

A Menagerie Of Myth
Introduction I haven't written any plagiaristic poetry for a while and I think we all have favourite mythical creatures because of stories that we have read, legends we are told, and pictures and statues that we see in churches and castles. Let me know your favourite.
