Introduction

This is an opportunity to bring three inspirations together and weave them into one.

The first is the wonderful painting by The Glittering Fox, Angie Livingstone:

The second is a new poetry form that Calvin London showed me: Here is the description:

A terza rima poem is an Italian form of poetry that consists of tercets that follow a chain rhyme in which the second line of each stanza rhymes with the first and last line of the subsequent stanza. It ends with a couplet rhyming with the middle line of the penultimate stanza. The pattern is ABA BCB CDC DED EE.

The third is "The Witch Of The North" my friend Sophia who you can find here:

And here is the last poem I wrote for her:

The music is "Wintertime" by The Steve Miller Band
