A Warm Fire
It's been snowing and it's cold outside. We have been out walking, the whole family. Snowball fights and building a snowman after rolling a huge snowball that was much too big to throw, the snow was quite deep this year but not too deep to walk through with our wellingtons on.

Celebrate. Runner-Up in Holiday Reflections in Verse Challenge.
Introduction The Holiday Season brings us joy. I remember it as a child, then with my children, and now with my grandchild. I thought I could capture some of my memories and hopes in a sonnet.

Thank You For Saving My Life. Content Warning.
Dear NHS Thank you so much for making sure that I am here today to write this letter. In my early life, you saw over my birth and were there when I needed an appendectomy at the age of six. Many years later you would do the same for my dad who had driven home from London with a burst appendix, and during treatment, he found out he was allergic to penicillin and suffered major hallucinations but, thanks to you, he is still here today.

Touch
To feel the touch of silk on your fingers, and the beautiful feel of a purring cat's fur. The delicacy of a butterfly's wings to make you feel you are in a faerie realm. The touch from the fingertips of someone who loves you, that you return and feel the electricity flow through the both of you that you do not want to stop. The feel of linen clothes on a summer day, and the sheets on your bed on a morning when you don't have to get up for work. The fur of a pet that comes to show their love and be close to you. The touch of a beautiful flower petal, releasing the aroma and scent that raises your spirit, with the natural perfume. Think of every beautiful touch in your life, and let them all touch your soul.

I Don't Know What To Say. Content Warning.
Introduction I have no words for what happened. I did not see it coming, because I knew how it would destroy the lives of so many close friends. I can't find anything about this dark day. I always want to be positive and raise people's spirits but I am struggling today.

Art For Art's Sake
Introduction I was just thinking of all the artists I know, as well as writers, and though none of them are nationally famous, thanks to being able to share pieces like this on Vocal I can give a little shout-out to them. This will be mainly visual artists.

A Fallen Cross
Introduction Today I saw a fallen cross. I thought I would write a short story Inspired by it. A Fallen Cross When this cross was erected it was to remember someone who had left this world. They would be remembered forever, their name and achievements carved in stone and placed on a cross.
