glass whale

A look. A sigh.

Resentment, swimming with the whales,

I watch the glassy surface, to see where the glass will fracture.

Breached by festering problems, previously unsaid.

Mouldy stale, pore covered issues,

My monthly subscription never running out,

‘TROUBLE AHEAD’ – same headline every time,

And I just hope, the barnacles protect against glass,

Sometimes they do. Others they don’t.

I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors. I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things.. Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I? Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished. I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything. Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work. TWITTER: @FionnGrant

  1. I love the painted glass. The poem in the beginning is awesome, lags in the middle. I think it might be more powerful if you rewrote the part on the subscription. Just my views, do not hate me for them.
