About me - Michelle Harper Davies

I am a 26 year old aspiring writer from a small town in South Wales. I have big hopes and dreams and a life full of love and hugs. If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be in O'ahu. If I won the lottery, I would spend my days writing and my nights

Food & Drink > Tea Guide to tea and biscuit dipping: 2 of 3
I have to confess that I am a dunker. A cup of tea is not complete without a biscuit (or six) to dip in to it. I am such a die-hard fan of dunking that I will dip any biscuit in to my cuppa regardless of whether it is "meant to be dipped" (a term that was highly overrated by my mother when I was a child). I have even been kno... More..

On the EdgeBalancingOn the edge of control,My toes touch the void below.The rush of chaotic air pushes upwards,Making my eyes water.It comes from the depths, butOf what's down there, I'm unsure.I'm trying to get away from the unknown,To make my feet move back from the edge,Pull my uncertain body with them.But, I'm curiousWhat...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Passion: 302 of 427
(home) My key hasn't entered the lock before the door swings open,and I don't even have chance to speakbefore your arms envelope meand hold me tightly with much passion,hands sliding softly, smoothly up to my face-hands that know me, need me, missed me .Your sweet sweet kisses.Your soft soft lips.Gentle so gentle.Then, here i...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Through the eyes of a child: 34 of 46
ContagiousSitting in sincere contemplation,A twitch tickles the corner of her mouth.Pretending she has it under control,She shyly inhales and I hear her delicate jaw release.Her face is rapturous in the throes of the yawn.Shortly, I taste it in my throat,A fleshy niggling that sucks in a breeze of airAnd yawns it out."You cau...

Arts & Humanities > Horror, Mystery & Suspense Book reviews: Cell, by Stephen King: 7 of 9
Cell: Stephen KingI'd never read a Stephen King novel until "Cell". In all the years, through all the cases of books, there isn't a complete King novel in my memory. I encountered his short stories once, somewhere along the way ("The Langoliers" has etched itself in my mind as one of the most disturbing stories ever). I start... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Perspective: 48 of 61
Yesterday, my uncle had a heart attack. Miraculously, he survived it (as it was a 'major' attack, according to the doctor) but one of the more shocking things about the situation is that he's only 37 years old. As sporty, sociable and hard-working as he is, no-one expected it, least of all him, and my whole family are in a st... More..
Food & Drink > Pasta, Grain & Rice Recipes Recipes: Spaghetti bolognese: 4 of 5
Spaghetti Bolognese was never one of my favourites when I was a child. As a teenager, I would eat at a friend's or cook a microwave meal when my mum made spaghetti or lasagna. I went through a phase where I couldn't even look at it. It did begin to 'grow on me' as I reached my early twenties, though, mostly because I started ... More..
Travel > Travel Planning & Advice How to incorporate exercise on your next vacation: 80 of 96
Vacations are all about relaxation, time away from the daily grind. Many holidaymakers choose to spend their days by the pool, lying on loungers and soaking up the sun with a good book and a cooling cocktail. Understandably, exercise is the last thing on their minds. But, there's nothing worse that lying on your lounger and e... More..
Local Guides > Memphis Things to see in Memphis, Tennessee: 9 of 10
Having been born and raised against a backdrop of Elvis' music and memorabilia, visiting Memphis has always been a dream of mine. My mother thinks Elvis is the man she was supposed to marry (yes, she's that fanatical) and I have to confess that over the years, I too have grown to love this legendary man. How an anyone not fal... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: A day at the beach: 16 of 17
Magaluf MadnessThis is it. The first day of my holiday in sunny Magaluf. The moment I step on to the gritty beige beach, clusters of annoying sand run into my new flip-flops. I take them off carefully and hook them onto my pink canvas beach bag, shaking the dirty grains off my feet with disgust. As I tiptoe through the bliste... More..
