Introduction

Hello, my name is Tom Ashton.
I'm a third year Creative Writing student, co-head editor of the creative writing magazine 'The Writer's Quibble' and an aspiring author.
Mostly, I write transgressive fiction with elements of dark humour but i've also been known to write horror, thriller and fantasy. I'm also technically a published poet.
Furthermore, I recently a received a 'First' for a radio script I wrote, which has encouraged me to experiment in different areas.
On this blog you can expect to find my opinion columns, essays and reports as well as poetry and lots of prose.

Please leave me some feedback, in the comment boxes at bottom of each article as it is crucial to me as a writer and therefore greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

'Love Birds' by Tom Ashton (poem - revised)

Love Birds

I notice her at noon
Stumbling across the sand 
A stranger so welcome
In my desolate land

Although I’m hidden high
She’s still noticed me there
She’s screaming and pleading
Oh, I know, it’s not fair

She’s fallen for me now 
Shaky on the slaughter
She weeping, she’s gurgling
A fish out of water

Heroin, heroine
Surrendering her feet
To her love drunk Vulture
She’s beloved as meat
