The Writers' Circle

Good afternoon fine folk, and welcome once again into the inner musings of my mind.

So far, every post I have put up here has been a piece of poetry. However, as a special treat for the new(ish) year, and because it happens to be the form my inspiration has taken lately, the next few submissions are likely to be more lucid and prose-esque, whilst (hopefully!) retaining their inherent poeticism. This is partly because I believe these rough-hewed forms best allow a thorough exploration of the issues dealt with, and partly to provide an insight into the thought processes involved in my poetry, as they are, in essence, pre-poems, the raw materials of a finished work, yet to be polished and refined. These outpourings are both emotional and intellectual dumps, similar in style to 'stream of consciousness' writing. They are, as I said, more 'thoughts' than finished articles ready to stand up to the full glare of the critical eye. And yet that is what I hereby choose to subject them to!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them!!
