Alan, struggling because I can't view poem and write comment at same time. Trying to say how reading poem from penultimate line up, I think the line goes, A medley of bagpipe hymns--and makes sense with a surprising degree of dramatic assertion, mystery and fervor until you get to the top two lines, which you'd need to fiddle with, giving the steeple a halo of birds and stars. Absolutely loved prior photo or painting of that chaos of gulls, shadows and maybe crows. Carry on! Merry Christmas.
Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you, Cynthia!
Beautiful paint, beautiful poem.
Merry Christmas 😊
Thanks so much, Puma!
