I'll try harder next time. And thanks for sharing the poem!

MacCaig was part of my secondary curriculum {thankfully} and I left in '77.

If it's not by someone that was part of the curriculum in 1978, then I have no idea who wrote what!<br /><br />Ali xAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.com
