Woodsman And The Medicine Woman.

The drink may not have been
Posted on Sun, 02 Jan 2022
The drink may not have been your best friend, but you certainly made some memories Turlough.

I had a right good laugh reading this...of course as always.
I have to admit that phones are good for taking photos, but you can't beat looking through an album of memories, and like you say if the power goes out and we can't recharge,...

I love how you've woven a story into this poem Turlough. The rhythm and rhyme are perfect too. It's a sad story and reminds me of the American native indians who had their land taken away. People with power and loads of money always seem to win...

Hi Rhiannon,
