This year is the fifth year (on average) of The Monster Blogs and so I am doing various give aways etc… March I decided to make a hand written and illustrated poetry book called Berries and Blood. There will only ever be a max of ten of these and only that many if I can […]
The ghost rattled the chimney Chiming the dust of bricks Blowing through holes made centuries ago With nails cut into shape Jagged and misplaced in darkened wood Smoke curling, a hand for a moment The draft from ill fitting pane Scatters it before a hold could be took We clogged the sole With shreds of […]
I got the bones of a general story introduction poem and the start of Cinderella written last night (after midnight), they are going to take a lot of tweaking to make story and poetry work. My general aim is to work through the fairy tales and legends, I already have a few rhyming stories like […]
