Great Regulars: Although the images in the poem--harvest-time,

fiddleplaying, dancing jigs- put us in mind of 20th century wars, we still receive this lyric under the shadow of the current war in Afghanistan, with its daily waste of life.

Liz Loxley lives in Flintshire and her poems appear regularly in magazines and anthologies.
