Extracts ~ Fleeting Thoughts
I cannot work out why it is
that despite my beauty
you make no move
you make no pass
you give no hint
you speak no innuendo?
You seem to love in a way
that reaches beyond me
What?
Say that again?
That “I do love you too”?
Well!
Now you’ve done it again!
And lifted me out of the ashes
Now the despair lifts,
the hopelessness
the dread
I don’t know anyone else
like you, honest!

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
