I am a writer of novels, plays and film scripts. I live in Manchester England with my partner Andy and our teenage son Jack. Andy and I started my Newsletter Raw Meat and began publishing with Rawprintz in 1999 to showcase my work. Some of you may be confused by my continual references to Ziggy, that’s my wheelchair! Both Andy and I are writers. I’ve recently lost my sight – hence the continual reference to my being confused! Thanks for visiting.

Writer's Island Tribute

The prompt at Writer's Island this week is Tribute.

TRIBUTE

A Sunday night tribute made to Pink Floyd

An Arena full of a complete mixture of people

Aging hippies amongst them, I’m sure.

Shine on you crazy diamond glitters amongst

the debris of Manchester-grey as always

A room full of dogs barking and whining,

Their plaintiff howls echoing round and round

The electric guitar holding me spellbound in the tribute

Wish you were here plucked out on the Spanish guitar stings

And the woman cries create such beauty

That I find difficult to believe in.

The tribute goes on…

    What a neat tribute. I loved the imagery you create with your words: "A room full of dogs barking and whining, Their plaintiff howls echoing round and round..." I am there with you!
    Thanks,
    Meryl
