I have a wee piece on page 30 of Issue 33 of The Pagans of North Magazine, 'One, Two, Three...' I was inspired by the nursery rhyme which goes on 'Once I caught a fish alive...' and was surprised to discover the original was about catching a hare... Much more in the folklore nature....

Matthew this is such a thought provoking piece of poetry to chew on. My mind is swimming with the possibilities of the meanings... The line "more bullets than points", makes me think of how people are more prone to throwing insults instead of complements. They tend to go on the defensive/ offensive instead of waiting to see what the other persons intensions are. I'll be chewing on this one for a while more still. Might have a different brain spark in a bit! 🧐
