Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

Even though there's been some brilliant writing on the site this week, london_calling79's 'A Letter To My New Tory MP' stood out immediately.  We're not a political site and members have all sorts of different views, but the humanity, compassion and reason of this piece shine a light in times that seem to get darker and grimmer ever day:

Poem of the week is another remarkable piece, in both form and content.  Rosa Cruz's 'my breakfast table awaits his return' is based on a painting, bringing the visual image vividly to life and giving us a beautiful, heartbreaking narrative of patience and loss:
