I've just shared a poem entitled "One Of The Lucky Ones (The Treasure)", which was nudged into being by Daphne Milne's Q&A "Poem/workshop help please" (https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/question/view/2743).
It's in free verse, 67 lines (425 words) long, narrated by a young refugee woman, and can be found at https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/profile/jimmy-hollis-i-dickson/work/5876be2e387140b15c8b4569
While I was at it (sharing work), I also shared a piece of flash fiction. (Remit: any subject, but ONLY dialogue which defines the personalities of the characters.) Entitled "Self Defence, Safe Passage, Insurance Policy...", it has 489 words and can be found at https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/profile/jimmy-hollis-i-dickson/work/5876c6273871406b618b4569
Feedback appreciated!
Great poem this Jimmy, glad to have been of help and congratulations on its acceptance for the anthology.
the Beginnings workshop is now written [sub title Hardy, haiku and a couple of Johns] but could be changed.
I would love to use 'The Treasure' either by changing/adding it to the above or more probably as the basis for another workshop - themes off the top of my head being 'How to use the News' to make a poem or a look at 'Strangers', others will no doubt occur. Would that be ok?
It's very encouraging to know that I'm not just bleating in the dark. Thank you.
Daphne
