Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week

A little on the early side this week as I'm on holiday and there's a swimming pool ten feet away waiting for the pleasure of my company...

Nottingham by all accounts was a huge success, so a million thanks to VeraClark for her super-efficient organising. We are planning something for London in November, so watch out for further details.

Meanwhile, ABC has been bursting at the seams with quality poetry and prose - so much to choose from! Poem of the week goes to Pat G for Stockholm Archipelago - a gem I've come back to several times since I first read it, and Story of the Week is the beginning of something from lisa h  - The Pearl Giver. Do pay it a visit and meet the enchanting Amy:

For this week's Inspiration Point I want you to include six colours in whatever you write. Good luck!
