Wandering The Imajica
My favourite book is Clive Barker’s “Imajica” . I have read many books that have taken me to other worlds. Michael Moorcock’s Multiverse based Eternal Champion still takes me to unbelievable but familiar places with magic , time travel , demons and swords and supernatural foes. The books seldom transgress 150 pages but they take you all round alternate versions of our own reality.

Colouring The Numbers
This is my first attempt at an ode, which often chooses love or admiration of or for the subject. After meeting a new Vocal friend we talked poetry and the sonnets and villanelles I had written for a number of friends, but I had never tried an ode and said I would try to do one for her.

Up Glastonbury Tor
I have only been up Glastonbury Tor once , I was on holiday in Bath at the time and took a trip to Glastonbury itself. Now this is what I remember at the time and may be flawed and wrong but it was inspired by a conversation with Soleira Green.

A Girl At A Bus Stop
This happened as a teenager in the mid seventies. I was driving home from a night in Garstang and was coming through Broughton and noticed a girl I knew at a bus stop. I stopped the car and got out and ran up to give her a big hug from behind, saying “Hi” . It was ten thirty at night , there were street lights and two pubs , one The Golden Ball close by.

Building Our Vocal Friends Up
I’ve seen a lot on Vocal of people complaining about lots of things to the point of verbally fighting online, though it seems to have calmed down. Maybe those at odds are avoiding each other or have learned to live with their differences.

Good As You On Vocal And Everywhere
I was looking through the Vocal communities and noticed the most unsubscribed one was Pride , 388 stories from 297 contributors. Now it may be a relatively new community, but if we look at others , contributors are in their thousands.

Walking Together
For a lovely New York friend, we share a lot of interests including swapping videos of our walks, me in Newcastle and she in New York. Things like this give you things to remember so I will share Shambeko Say Wah!’s gorgeous “Remember” to lead this piece. Hope you enjoy this.

The Cinnamon Spell
This sonnet is a tribute to a very good friend who may or may not reveal herself. The poem is personal to her and the song has got to be Donovan Leitch’s “Season of The Witch” covered by hundreds of other people, but we will stick with the original.

You're My Best Friend
I recently had some , to use Orwellian parlance , doublenotgood news, but I am in a very good place. Much of this is due to the support and love I have received from all my friends and family and I always have a positive attitude.
