Welcome to Crann na beatha Short Stories and Poetry for Jan. 26th, 2024
I have four short stories and three poems for you today. We have the third and last part of The Heart and Harvest, some beautiful poetry, one of which is read to us by the author, and Robert G. Longpré’s ninth chapter from Sanctuary.
The show went overlong due to Jonathon Sawyer’s last chapter for The Heart and the Harvest but it is well worth the time spent listening to the whole show. Due ot the extraordinary length, I spared everyone my advert this week. I know, your all so disappointed. I will bring it back next week by popular demand.
I am happy to hear from the authors regarding my efforts here to bring these stories and poems to life around the world. So far, they all like what we are doing here and it seems this show is gaining popularity around the world, primarily in the U.S.
Let’s keep it up. I recently added Google Translator to my website at www.crann-na-beatha.com so maybe more non-English speaking and reading peoples will have more access to these podcasts. Time will tell.
And now, the links to this week’s selections:
The form of his dreams
I loved you
A poem
A poem
A Novelette in Three Parts: Part Three
I don’t get paid enough for this.
Sanctuary — A Scary Secret Is Revealed
Chapter 9 — What? Ninety percent death rate?
That is all I have this week. I hope everyone enjoys the selections I have here. As always, if you read any of these, make sure you let the writer know what you think by clapping and replying. Sláinte
Go raibh maith agat. Thank you for listening to the show today. I hope you enjoyed the variety of stories and poems again this week. Maybe one of them might touch your heart a little.
Disclosure for everyone; In order to read the complete stories and poems, you will need to sign up for a subscription in Medium. If I see a link by the author on one of the stories to allow everyone to read it, I will let you know in the newsletters.
Please return again next week for another episode of Crann na Beatha Stories and Poetry.
As a Seanchaí, I want to continue to delight you with a story or a poem that may bring you a smile or make you think a little after we part for the day.
As I say good bye this week, I wish to leave you with this Irish blessing as you go about your day. “Long-life and fair health to you — Saol fada agus breac-sláinte chugat.” “Slán go fóill — goodbye for now.”
