Posted on Sat, 09 Nov 2024

I guess with the oppressive regime in Afghanistan and the anti-abortion lobby in the US scorching the earth it's exceptionally tough for women in parts of the world. The word 'freedom' has never had more relevance. Well said, Maxine.

Posted on Sun, 10 Nov 2024

Not sure I've ever been to Sheffield. It sounds like most cities. When I go back to Birmingham the centre has changed again with a never ending 'road improvement scheme'.

This flows better than the version posted last year (I've just re-read it) so well done on this revision. Your poem captures the essense of this time of year including its religious connotations and associations.
