Vegetable Love: In response to Carol Ann Duffy

by Ally Temple

Not an onion.

But a mushroom.

Your love springs up from the forest floor overnight

Velvet underneath.

Comically robust,

Yet your flesh so easily violated.

And if incorrectly chosen,

Intoxicating.

Welcome to The Pygmy Giant.
Make yourself at home.
You might think of this as an e-magazine, a Forum, a poetry slam, or a sticky table in the corner of a dingy pub.

Whichever you prefer, this is a place for British flash fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and pretty much anything else under 800 words. Giant works of literature in their concise clothing.

Why just British stuff? Because flash fiction on the web is dominated by our American cousins, and while that's not a terrible thing, we'd like to hear some of the small and powerful voices of Blighty. So read, enjoy, leave some (polite) feedback for the writers, and send us your stuff!
