I can hardly believe it. NO WAY! This is the last post of 2023 - where did the time go? But here we are, so let's go out with a grand finale - a series of four abstracts (a four course meal) paired with a poem that grabbed me (a deep red wine with a heady bouquet and a lingering, oaky finish). For dessert? How about some winning readers (a warmed, rich berry pie topped with ice cream). Oh, oh and OH! Now we're going to need a long winter's nap.
Thank you to everyone who participated in 2023's monthly Reader Giveaways. More than 25 parcels were delivered to lucky winners over twelve months. And the final winners of the year (selected at random by Wonder Mike) are: Dotty S. Trina T., C and Carl S. Email [email protected] with your shipping address, then watch your mailbox for a sweet surprise - and thanks so much for reading and commenting.

Oh my goodness! First thanks for the reader giveaway. It doesn’t seem fair to get gifts beyond this of your thoughts, the poems you curate for us and of course your magical art! I will savor this poem over and over. It’s got a lot to chew on.

Missed this, sorry. Days flow into more days, and sometimes have to think what day is today, doesn't matter!
