I was right there with the narrator in this one. @joycebingham.bsky.social deftly capturing all our still-vivid school humiliations

Don’t forget! Subs open for our spring issue until March 1 and always open for Joy because, well, joy. You don’t need fancy letters or a string of prior publishings, just you and something you really want to tell the world in flash micro poetry letters or art.

Temple in a City literary journal Flash fiction Eight Times Table by author Joyce Bingham. Published in Temple in a City literary journal.

The use of repetition in this @joycebingham.bsky.social story, a lifetime lived and relived in one trepidation-filled event. Whew.

When the Pride Roars / Delphine Gauthier-Georgakopoulos with Marie-Louise McGuinness

A piece written with my friend Marie-Louise McGuinness @mlmcguinness.bsky.social
and published last year in The Pride Roars @theprideroars.bsky.social ... sadly still very much relevant, maybe even more so now.

A pressed frond on pavement.

Run out of things to talk about? All talked out and in need of recuperation? Struggling with holiday stuff and looking for thoughtful diversion? Not celebrating any holiday? Grieving? Anxious? Happy? Feeling grateful? No matter your situation, this is for you.

I'll buy a new bauble, but not every year. Someone once said my tree was uncoordinated and not in the latest colours. I guess she's spending the money.
