Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week

Actually this is for the past two weeks, as we were quite rightly showcasing our wonderful Picks of the Year last Friday. Anyway, 2016 has got off to a flying start on ABCTales. I think perhaps the start of really cold weather must have done something to the poets in particular because there was so much to choose from. I'm giving this week's poetry honours to Philip Sidney for parts one and two of her as yet unfinished Triptych (do hurry up with number three) - both utterly wonderful pieces which stayed with me long after I'd read them. Story of the week goes to Stephen Thom for As Long As Sea Beats on Stone, a dark, dusty, claustrophobic tale of memories and how they can trap you. They are all must-reads, so please do!

The inspiration point this week is one word: tribute. Use it any way you like and then post the results so we can see what you've done with it. Good luck!
