Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

Story and Poem of the Week, and Inspiration Point 22 March 2024

Some very good writing indeed this week. Give yourselves a pat on the back for making this job as difficult as ever.

Story of the Week

I very much liked Starfish Girl’s The Spa. Equally good were Parts 1&2 of Blighter’s Rock’s The Plan. But in the end Celticman was in competition with himself – and not for the first time – with The Little Lady and the eventual winner.

So with plenty more a-don’t, as opposed to further ado, this week’s story of the week is Celticman’s Sean Happens

Poem of the Week

I always like to see how/why people write what they do, so here is a special mention for Magnolia Fay’s Haibun for existential dread.

For similar reasons I was especially struck by Jane Hyphen’s Too Many Tabs Open, and also by skinnerjennifer’s What’s Not Written.

This week’s accolade goes to a beautiful evocation of another place and time and that is Marandina’s The Moon Maiden.

Your inspiration point is here.
