Pause, Rewind

December 9, 2012February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

9Dec 2012   “Baby, you’re gonna be a star!” Pause. Rewind. “Don’t worry about a thing. Baby, you’re gonna be a star!” Pause.  Rewind. “…and we won’t look back. Don’t worry about a thing.  Baby, you’re gonna be a star!” Pause. Rewind. She’d been doing this for hours. The same scene, over and over. Classic… Continue reading Pause, Rewind

Music Passed Down

June 2, 2012February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

2Jun 2012 My Grandfather Skogen was in a band. My brother blames him for he and our sister and I (and mum, in her way) being ‘too nice’, but I think that was just a good thing we were given: a place to grow kind. He was also well-known as a horse breeder, and in… Continue reading Music Passed Down

The Stained-Glass Puzzle Lady

December 22, 2011February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

22Dec 2011 If one should take a meeting with the CEO and founder of the Streitenfeld group- and if One is Anyone, one likely will – one might notice a woman in the corner, with Snow White’s colouring and Audrey Hepburn’s style.

down in fogharty’s cove

November 13, 2011February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

13Nov 2011 I’m working on my Red Hood, tonight. I found a lovely little girl’s coat, the softest fur you could imagine! It’s going to line the cloak’s edges, and the hood. I have always wanted a lovely hood, lined with scrumptious plush! If I have enough left over (as I am dearly hoping) I… Continue reading down in fogharty’s cove

Sword, Ring, Needle

September 7, 2011February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 23:09:25 +0000 The needle flashed in the late afternoon light, shuttering up and down as Shulie’s hands moved the dark fabric under the machine’s foot with her hands.  The foot and needle both caught the light and glinted, while the black corduroy fabric seemed to swallow up the light. Black, black,… Continue reading Sword, Ring, Needle

Summer Song

July 19, 2011February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:45:02 +0000 I wrote this as a song for 50/90, a brilliant songmaking community that really deserves its own post.  I worked on the song a good  few days, only to realise that it really kinda stood on its own as a poem of sorts. I am no poet, but occasionally… Continue reading Summer Song

Blood and Sand

May 9, 2011February 26, 2019 Shoe Skogen

9 May 2011 This little bit of microfiction didn’t start out that way.  In fact, it didn’t start out as anything at all. You see, I’ve recently gotten a little Android tablet, mostly for pulling up Ukelele chords and recipes in the kitchen, and other such fun stuff. I was just playing about with it,… Continue reading Blood and Sand
