Story & Poem of the Week, & Inspiration Point 5th May 2023

Another week has gone by and it’s time to make the difficult choices again.

Story of the Week

The long form multi-part pieces continue to show up well. I was particularly impressed with Mark Burrows The Breakdowns.7 Part I (& Part II). Celticman’s Goatie 8 alternated between making me laugh and shiver. Of the stand-alone pieces Mitchell Jamal Franco’s The Interconnectedness Of Things showed us a frightening prospective near-future.

I know from a loved-one’s experience that cancer patients are often
advised to keep a diary. JeanD’s pieces contine to be written with
unflinching honesty and no little humour and Bella the Brain Pain is no different and that’s why it is our Story of the Week, do please share, retweet, insta, whatever it all over the place.

Poem of the Week

Our poem of the week is Kilb50’s A Flower is Not a Flower, his excellent tribute to one of the godfathers of electronica, Ryuchi Sakamoto of The Yellow Magic Orchestra.
