Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

It's been wonderful to see so many new writers and such a range of writing this week.  I've chosen pieces that take an unusual perspective on the natural world.

Markle's beautifully described, 'The Gardens', takes us somewhere slightly unsettling, I dare you to take the garden walk: https://www.abctales.com/story/markle/gardens

Rosa Cruz's, 'Today birdsong is turned up loud', is full of verve, a gift to the senses, so do yourself a favour and take this seaside walk: https://www.abctales.com/story/rosa-cruz/today-birdsong-turned-loud

What a a week!  All of this emotional turmoil feels like a wake up call, who knows what might happen next?  So this week's IP is: ch-ch-ch-ch- changes.
