There's a Manta Ray in My Living Room
A Reading



There's a Manta Ray in My Living Room was conceived after a dream. The dream was no doubt in response to a WC kerfuffle that I had chosen to get involved in many tides back. As some of you know I practise meditation and try very ardently to stay in touch with my higher self, to behave as my conscience and not my emotions/ego would have it, something easier to do when the air and the waters are calm … much more difficult during a storm. But always there are your dreams, your subconscious, to offer some guidance.


There's a Manta Ray in My Living Room is published in Monsters



Monsters contains the short story series Demons, Harlots and Crones, which follows two generations of the Demeere family and its legacy of spite and envy. Included in the series is Demon in High Socks; Holler it out with Lemonade; the Old Lady, Her Plymouth, and Cockroaches; Sex in a Pan; and the Fire Crone and Stone Harlot. Also within Monster’s pages are fifty-odd poems exploring the darker side of human nature and its undeniable conclusion. Two Orphan Sparrows, the Devil is a DJ, the Last Striptease, Beware of Librarians Promising Freedom and many more titles are found within. Ultimately monster asks the reader to look at the darkness found within herself and by facing it, perchance move beyond.

Anytime. :-)))))))
I found this one beautiful - the read added such a layer to the words, the alliteration was spectacular - bringing in the sand and surf on smooth wings - and I also found it a bit sad. Well done

Beautiful voice and captivating poem. This opened on my phone purely by accident when I accidentally brushed my touch screen but glad of that accident

Lucky accident, perhaps. Thank you, SpeedyHobbit.
I read the introduction, I listened to your voice, and after a few seconds' pause, felt as if i was sharing a dream from out of nowhere. It's an extraordinary privilege to even briefly become part of someone's space, to see the view and, feel the power or gentleness of the All.

Whatever the seed of your poem, it led the way towards and not away from .. ..

Thank you so much.
