Falling out and hurt, we sometimes can’t find a way forward until
we realise stone boats don’t work!

WEATHER WARNING

They had a terrible falling out,
One hurting the other
Until, little by little,
Love seeped away
Through the cracks newly discovered,
Leaving them on islands of pain.
There was nothing to be done,
For nothing could reach them.

Until they spoke to the Future,
Waiting until it got back to them.
Lover needing to reach Lover,
To sail across this sea of misunderstanding.
End this separation.
Quick!  Hasten to do it.
Hurry!  Fashion a boat out of love,
Sail it fast to each other.

Tapping its teeth with a long coral finger,
The Future said it couldn’t see any problem
As long as they had a conveyance that would float.
Murmuring of wrecks and wild weather.
Laughing out loud when they told it
What they would be sailing in,
Making whales sneeze and shells clatter
As first one said and then the other,
Each would be sailing in their own stone boat.

the whole fate of Time and Eternity, good and evil, lies in the hands of
Bonny Starr.‘

  1. Gwen,

    Are some of your books still in paper print?

    My sister in law has pupped, and given my wife’s parents their 1st grandchild. The parents are absolute ludites, they have refused to photograph the baby, and have released instead a pencil drawing. I approve of this!

    If you are in print, I will track one down as an investment.

  2. PRIVATE-KEEP OUT is with Penguin Vintage and you just order that as normal. Those grandparents might not like it, though, as the heroine is stubborn and always getting into trouble. It’s a funny book but they may not find it entertaining.. Other books are on Kindle. PRIVATE is set in the early 1950’s. ‘BONNY STARR AND THE RIDDLES OF TIME’ is on Kindle, as well as all the others. Not sure how any of them will act as an investment though. Keep writing.
    Gwen.

  3. It won’t go near the grandparents!

    The parents run a circus school, and no doubt will want the little girl to learn English one day. I’ll get it, and sit on it for a while.
    Thanks Gwen.

  4. Lucy Mangan of The Guardian calls PRIVATE – the funniest children’s book ever written. Keep writing. Relish the problems. It’s all so
    interesting.
