February 23 – Revolution
When did “revolution” become an adjective?
Ascribed to ingredients of domestic products
“Revolutionary cleaning power!”
The design of women’s lingerie
“New, revolutionary wonder lift!”
No longer the power to stir
To call to arms; to change;
To leap into action.
All I know is
When the revolution comes
I’ll be wiping my bum
With revolutionary 3-ply toilet paper.

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.
