Crann na beatha Stories and Poetry

Cead Fáilte

Welcome back to another episode of Crann na beatha Short Stories and Poetry

I am Terrance Ó Domhnaill, your village scéalaí, returning again this week with more stories and poems from authors around the world.

I have three more stories this week for this half hour show.

I am beginning with the continuation of the serialized space operas from my Substack writers, The Guardians, and The Gravediggers of Orpheus. The third story is a fable from Africa. A wonderful story about a hippo published by  a Medium writer.

So gather round once more and let me read to you under the shade of the crann na beatha, the tree of life. Click the play button to listen to the stories.

This will be another short newsletter as I have family visiting and I am spending some much needed time with my children and grandchildren this week.

This week, I don’t have any poetry as I only had room for these three wonderful stories. This will be the last Guardian chapter though as the subsequent chapters are all about war and the gruesome details of such. I have to try my best to keep this podcast at PG or a G rating as I can. I pre-recorded this podcast last weekend before my family arrived as I knew things would be a little chaotic with young children running around.

I do have other stories lined up for next week and my personal schedule will return to normal after this weekend.

I love my kids and grandkids but I will be a little glad to get things back to some semblance of normal next week.

Please enjoy these fine writers by listening to the podcast above and, if you want, hit the links below to read along as you wish.
