Dog – 110 words

February 8, 2022 By Ellen

Dog. My dog is a little bitch – a chocolate drop of a creature, sweet and domestic, when she’s minded. But sometimes she is a sharp-clawed ball of instinct and indignation. Why can’t she dig up the raised beds or gnaw on the school shoes? My food should be hers and, indeed, will be if […]

Imbolc – 117 words

February 2, 2022 By Ellen

Parliament – 96 words

February 1, 2022 By Ellen

Parliament. Owls would be much better. We have a parliament of liars and sneaks who squark loudly, flail their feathers and fling mud in the face of the truth hoping that no one will notice how far they fall short.

Cake – 104 words

January 31, 2022 By Ellen

Cake. Why don’t men make a fuss about cake… or gin? We’re made to think it’s women who go ‘ooooh, red velvet, ooooh, martini’ like we were under some kind of spell and these – admittedly delicious and lovely – things knock out our ability for lucid, angry thoughts. It’s almost as if women can’t […]

Black and white – The Tragedy of Macbeth

January 21, 2022 By Ellen

This is not a review, you can make your own minds up, just some images left on my mind. Black and white. The Tragedy of Macbeth is shot in black and white. Angular, stark, unflinching. Wingbeats of birds and blood drops build the drama, while the dagger is only in Macbeth’s head. Nothing in a […]
