  22. Interesting picture. Her smile makes me think she knows something important. A piece of wisdom that he (the shadow) doesn't. She has dominance over him.

  23. Thanks, Tess. At first I felt totally dull looking at the image, then something clicked.

  24. Very unusual . . . something to grind the verbal gears.

  26. Something short due to over-exertion with the Xmassy shopping...

  31. Hmmm, I struggled, but it ended up humorous!

  32. Tricksy prompt. Settled for limerick . . again.
    (Can you help No 49, DCW, whose link brings the reader back to the Magpie blog?)

  39. Tess,

    May the season be a good one!

    (This poem still reflects a subconsciously brooding politics. I've been nagged with it for some time.)
