Shopping Trolley Dancing
Waiting in the queue
Her hand on the trolley bar
The grocery store muzak
Shifts her feet to first position
A perfect “V”
Her arms move with rusty
but remembered grace
through first, second, third,
fourth and fifth.
An interruption
“Mum, you’re embarrassing us.”
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.
