furry slippers poking out from under the bed like a puppys nose
rumpled sheets and discarded lingerie across the room
pillows lie on the rug where they slipped
bare arm sprawled across sweaty chest
murmurs heard through closed door of a tv forgotten
windowsill flowers lean towards the sun that is settin
late afternoon in suburbia
Abbie Shores is a British artist, writer, and arts community manager on Pixels.com currently based in Manchester and soon moving to France. Her creative work is inspired by countryside walks, dogs and horses, and a love of myth-infused storytelling. She is the founder of Our Arts Magazine and author of the Whispers of the Wolf fantasy series. Friends know her as Frankie—a nod to the warmth and quiet humour beneath her professional calm.
