My absence over this week might give the impression that I’ve been easing up on my writing but that’s not the case. 

I have three short stories on the go and a collection of twenty poems I’m editing quite severely.  In order to take a break from those tasks I’ve occupied myself with writing poetry and reading.  On Starlite Cafe I am well underway with a series of poems based on the analysis of dreams.  I am also writing a romantic series about a couple who are trans-atlantic friends … then they meet. 

With trans-atlantic friends in mind, during the week I co-wrote a sensual piece with a lady friend.  The poem is called ‘Bare Flesh on Sand’.  On completion of this post I’ll be adding a link to it in my Poetry/collaborations section but I’ll also add a link to this post.  

By way of a change, the link will go to the other poet, Cheryl’s page.  The graphic, background and text scheme were Cheryl’s idea and I think they all work well.      ‘Bare Flesh on Sand’  http://www.thestarlitecafe.com/poems/105/poem_91187761.html
