Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point, posted by Di_Hard
Thank you so much for all the wonderful writing this week!
Two powerful pieces of prose have really stood out for me -
Turlough combines being (surely) one of the world's best listeners with easygoing profundity in his travel writing. In this account of a visit to an antique shop in Serbia, he has given me a new understanding of that country's recent history : https://www.abctales.com/story/turlough/bo%C5%A1ko%E2%80%99s-clouds
Long ago a wonderful poet told me a quote : "If a writer is silent, then they are lying". Yet, how to write about something, which might effect one deeply, but about which one has no first hand knowledge? Kilb50 has found an answer, and it is Story of the Week : https://www.abctales.com/story/kilb50/letter-rejection
The antithesis of confinement - so often the cause of conflict - Marandina has contributed a beautiful poem which gifts the reader with an enduring feeling of space and calm : https://www.abctales.com/story/marandina/where-maps-end
ABC has been lucky the past few months, to be scattered with brilliant gems from Queen Beatle, and this week my favourite is about history and healing in a landscape and people. It is Poem of the Week :

I do hope you all stay warm and safe and well, and have time for lots more great writing
