Everyone welcome.  Bring a poem or any other sort of writing and sit round with a nice brew and a cake and discuss your work with other writers. 

Check out the gig guide!

Stormed by blue eyes

Sucked in

I'm debris in his whirlpool

I'm driftwood on his tide

I'm held in squalling waters

I'm anchored by his sighs

Soaked to the skin

My hips don’t swing when I walk anymore.

My new baby mewls, I tut, I s...
