I'm fresh out of stories and poems to post. As soon as you send me something wonderful, the posts of Writing In A Woman's Voice will resume. The address to send to is writinginawomansvoice@gmail.com.

In the meanwhile I'll leave you with one of my poems that's been on my mind a lot lately.

The Dragon's Tale

Yes, I took the princess away.

She's hidden up in the mountains.

She's hidden from your strange

world of corsets and obedience

among the yellow flowers.

She's hidden from your male

fantasies among my cousins,

the lithe lizards. She's hidden

from your benevolent contempt

in the moss of morning dew.

You thought I was going to eat her?
