About Sharon

Sharon: 39, Female
United Kingdom

Bio: 37 year old sometime writer. Attempting to slow the dread slide into my 40s by meeting new contacts and experiencing new thoughts that aren't just an extension of the plod I'm currently living.

Genres: All

Publishing Credits: None I wish to name

Awards: None

Influences: Anything that makes me see things from a new angle; anything that reinforces my own feelings but does it better than I can.

Favourite Books: If This Is A Man, Bel Canto, The Shipping News, Rebecca, Waterland. Anything by Peter Carey, some Saul Bellow, lots of poetry, good biographies and a thousand or so novels I can't remember right now. And I love a great short story. Am currently becoming a fan of David Mitchell.

Writer, Prizefighter, Or Caffeine Inspired All Nighter?: Caffeine Inspired All Nighter (tea not coffee...)

The Swimming Pool - very unfinished - in fact only started - would appreciate comments

The Swimming Pool

It has the same properties as any other water. Blue in the mind but so clear when you reach it. A template of the blank part of you.

I'm not sure why I am drawn. It swallows the pores like the possessed, and yet I long for it. Not the initial chill of the air that keeps it, nor the sirens' embrace. It is the nullity of it that draws me here.

There is no smell in rememberance. They say there is but there is no perfume or powder or sweat. Even the c…

Attraction

This lump in the throat

has tidal thoughts

of it's own,

an irregular metronome

it sinks and elates in

anxious waves

--------------------

feral the way it

cannot be controlled

And you

flicking that look

like a lick, it's as if

in an instant

you could swallow me

I wrote it in about 5 minutes and have regretted it ever since. =) Not that bad, really, but not my best. You will soon see better. Thank you very much for the honesty. Yes, I do give a shit about your opinion. That is my whole purpose in posting publicly, so feel free to be brutal. Ha ha. Thank you again.

a word jab
left on a screen
shift context
move the toes
think on the mat
before the bell rings
canopy of dialog deafened
complimentary or sedimentary?
contend then shift

straight legged

Cheers.
