STORY AND POEM OF THE MONTH

November's picks very kindly chosen by love_writing:

Gosh it's so difficult, there are so many good pieces, but these are the two which have stayed with me;

Story: 'Poppy'
This story told from child's perspective has stayed with me since reading it. It's hard- hitting in its innocence.
