Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week

I didn't have to think very hard this week, as two pieces (luckily one prose, one poetry!) have refused to leave my head since I first read them.

The Other Terrence Oblong's 'The Coldplay Problem' is my favourite of all his Island Stories. It has everything anyone could want, including David Bowie, a bottomless well and - this is a big plus - the utter rubbishing of Coldplay. Do read it if you haven't already:

I hope you read my poetry pick too. It marks the welcome return of Seashore, one of our most talented poets and explains why she's been unable to write for more than two years. It's heartbreaking and will stay with you long after you've read it:

This week's Inspiration Point is a Valentine's Day special (or not). Good luck with it!
