Classical Gas Bags
As a kid classical music was never pushed at home, the nearest we got was probably Mantovani or the sort of elevator music you would expect to hear at “Abigail’s Party”. When I got to secondary school the possibility of me ever appreciating any classical music was well and truly dashed to the ground.

My Anchor
A poem about how we sometimes feel lost when we are adrift . I am attempting my first Pareiku a form created by Cendrine Marrouat and David Ellis that you can read about here. The form is very short . Two pictures and a 19 syllable haiku form poem.

Can You See The Real Me?
This is for The Remarkably Real Vocal Challenge, the challenges were one of the reasons I joined Vocal but since then I have discovered something far more precious, my Facebook Vocal Friends and Family who provide me with love and support and encouragement and without whom I would not be here writing this.

A True Romantic
My favourite film is True Romance directed by Tony Scott and scripted by Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino then disowned the script for some reason. It was pre-Reservoir Dogs so that may have been something to do with it. Apologies for any mistakes or mis-spellings of names as I am trying to rely on my often faulty memory.

William Hope Hodgson
William Hope Hodgson is a writer who has been compared to Edgar Allen Poe, although I would veer away from that description for a lot of his stories. I have once more picked up on “The House On The Borderland” which is, in my opinion (and that of a lot of other people) a masterpiece of the unnatural supernatural in the realms of Clark Ashton-Smith, Arthur Machen and HP Lovecraft.

A Thousand To One
No this is not about betting (as you may have observed I do bet on horses and football), but about prioritising the good in our lives and giving as little purchase as possible to the not so good. I am starting this unsure if I can make six hundred words on it , but I would like to give this the permanence of a Vocal story because I believe, although this is completely just my opinion, that this situation affected everybody and I am certainly no exception to this.
