Teresa Renton

Inhaling life, exhaling stories, poetry, prose, flash or fusions. An imperfect perfectionist who writes and recycles words. I write because I love how it feels to make ink patterns & form words, like pictures, on a page.

    Excellent… glad Kitty’s litter wasn’t neglected… cat’s still have their rights, even when the household is disintegrating 😳😵‍💫🙄🥹

    This is awesome. I love the personal tone of it. Glad I'm not the one receiving this list though, I'd be so overwhelmed.😂 My favourite was the last dot point
