Our close friends now have to live with early Alzheimers; and he is suffering as much as she, while we look on and do all we can to help and support.

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

By D G Moody on Thu, 21 Dec 2023

Reading some of the poems, and just walking around our village, reminds me of how much we associate rain as a winter condition; that prompted me to find this old poem, to give an aternative, where rain (as I well remember) is a god-send. (Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)

All Souls Shall Arise

By D G Moody on Sun, 10 Dec 2023

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 love your use of language Paul - creating the imagery, of our cold January, the words rustling and foreshadowing the return of spring.

We missed the 25th due to cloud, but this morning there she was - huge over the fens; and I thought of your poem, such ethereal language and imagery, so perfect for us Paul - a good one!

Thank you Di. We are blessed with our bird life. My wife and I this morning while on our walk watched transfixed as two Woodpeckers swooped through the bare branches of trees. I would say that these were the Great Spotted type.
