Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

With a bushel of cherries to choose from this week deciding on the story and poem of the week was quite a task.  There were two pieces that reached out to me though - so:

story of the week goes to Linda Wigzell's intriguing and compelling piece of life writing: https://www.abctales.com/story/linda-wigzell-cress/family-connections

Poem of the week goes to Jane Hyphen's evocative piece: https://www.abctales.com/story/jane-hyphen/thats-not-way-i-go

Here's the inspiration point - have fun with it.
