My Desires by P.E. Cuberos

By -

My desires are golden butterflies that I trap
in the cobwebs of my wisdom.


My desires,
blossom, ripen, swell, explode.
The seasons of my heart,
raspberry crests on the tips of my breasts


My desires,
sailors sailing to the magical cave,
in the depths of the rippling of the waves of my legs.


The singing of the sirens pulls and calls
to drop in and dive down
to deep and depth explore.


My desires
Wings that tickle with soft whispering tongues
My velvet-silk skin


Butterflies have a brief life
Raspberries rot
Sailors drown
Skin,
grows old.

    The word choice and imagery in this piece is so rich and soothing, like sipping a full-bodied merlot on a rainy night. Such a solid command of language. Well, done.

    Beautiful work. You take the reader onto a sublime journey into fulfillment. I too use butterflies in my writing, and often in the same context as you do.

    Warning: Fake Investment Companies

    Some fraudsters establish what appears to be a legitimate trading or investment company on the market. On the market, some con artists create entities that seem to be legitimate trading or investment firms. They might hire staff and rent lavish offices. If you come in for a face-to-face appointment, you might have to wait. The trader or investor is convinced that the business is reliable and provides a real opportunity for significant rewards. However, it is simply the art of a larger scam!

Jester & King by Salia Jansen

The jester mocks and tells his jokes, Whereas the king, he hears his word, And both they laugh ‘bout funny folks, Of braveries that they have heard. And while the king is entertained, The jester smiles and shakes his head, For he’s a jester, friend and saint, Forerunners told him who are dead. The king is lost, they start to sing, They swap the crown for hat with bell, Who jester is and who is king, The servants ask, they cannot tell. by Salia Jansen

Interview with Mary-Jane Holmes, of Fish Publishing

Sara: So you currently teach an online course in flash fiction writing run by Fish Publishing, which I’ve recently completed (and can whole-heartedly recommend!). Tell us a bit about the course and why you decided to set it up. M-J: The Flash Fiction course has been running since 2009 following demand from writers who wanted to explore the genre further but couldn’t find much guidance either online or through writing groups. At the time it was difficult to find workshops exploring Flash and few creative writing institutions offered a course solely dedicated to the medium. It caused a flurry of excitement when it was launched and since then has continued to be a very popular program. Sara: Flash fiction is an interesting form of writing, something of a ‘niche’ or minority form, which seems to be gaining popularity at the moment. Why do you think that is? M-J:   Many writers on the subject suggest that this form of fiction is enjoying resurgence and renewed ...

It's here again... the Cafe Aphra November Challenge!

Greetings all!  So this year we thought we'd do something a little different for our Cafe Aphra November Challenge... a touch of tongue-in-cheek, a pinch of parody, something to make us smile in these dark and shortening Autumn days. Ever wondered whether your favourite classic novel would get published nowadays?  Well now's your chance to write that imaginary rejection letter from the publisher sent to the author of a famous classic, explaining exactly why their manuscript is unsellable, unpublishable or unreadable.  Or, if you'd rather, you can try and 'pitch' your classic manuscript to a sceptical modern-day publisher and see what he or she has to say in response. It doesn't have to be long, and you can either make it obvious what the classic in question is, or you can keep us guessing. Perhaps this all sounds a little confusing... A parody of a rejection of a pitch?!  What on earth does that look like?? Well if you want...
