Hi Maureen,
Thanks for your good opinion but no, I have never been tempted to return o the subject of politics - too depressing. I have several times considered writing about my father's war experiences but concluded that my knowledge of day to day conditions is inadequate to do proper justice. I do write a fair number of poems on the fairy tale aspect though, like this one...
The Sacrifice
The sword was from its scabbard drawn and thrust into the air. The knight was now a foolish pawn in taking up this dare.
He stood alone against a dragon to save a pretty maid, without suspecting aught was wrong, the trap was so well laid.
The village knew it would not wait, the monster had it's price. The maiden purely used as bait, the knight, the sacrifice
Keith, the happy chappy
