An old poem I've revised for Christmas.; and by way of my greeting to all at ABCtales, not least our editorial team who keep this ship afloat. So may you all have a blessed Christmas and a peaceful New Year; as we can hope for 2024 for our conflicted world. Dougie

I composed this two nights ago, in response to having heard that a poet friend is now treminally ill. It is still a work in progress. (image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons: detail of a painting by John Thomas)

I loved the ominous imagery here; and the onion juice metaphor works so well.

What a powerful evocation of the Magpie; and I thought your choice of words enhanced the Magpie characteristics. And these are remarkable birds that we see often about our village - not quite safe and with a mischievous air about them.
