Stream of confidence silver-tongued, watery messenger, picking up confidences as you chatter over stones and leap down waterfalls, ever onwards, always downwards; depositing your gossip at the astonished mouth of the ocean, she shrouds it in breakers and drags it discretely to her dark secret womb, holding it there, forever.

THanks Hobbo. β€ Sometimes I do. But I haven't submitted any for publication. I need to get off my posterior and get posting!

I’m not one to give advice because I’ve had nothing published yet. I’m sure if you submitted to anthologies you would get published.
Definitely!
