Scavenging
She throws crusts
to the seagulls
gathers them close
sends the birds scattering
as she runs
kites on invisible strings
the birds return
as though reeled in
to scavenge on what
she feeds them
before she shoos
the birds to the wind
again
and again
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.
Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

My collaborative epistolary novel, "Post Marked: Piper's Reach," written with Jodi Cleghorn (@JodiCleghorn) out now via Vine Leaves Press.
Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.
