A River of True Blue

This stretch of blue
Through my city it runs
Under bridges of old
And the newest of ones

Through a channel of green
To the Moray Firth
Its idyllic in vista
The view is well worth

Can you imagine
When you sit on its banks
The clear fresh air
In atmosphere thanks

On its bend to its right
In contour follow
On the hill their stands
A view to swallow

In red sandstone build
This structure of grand
Inverness Castle
For the Hanoverian stand

But Spring times the best
Even though, there are buttercups
But when the Daffodils bloom
They just don't seem enough

For the banks turn
From greens to yellow
As if painted this way
By an artist fellow

But honestly Soupers
I can sit here and tell
To be totally honest
You have to see it, for yourselves

This is an aw inspiring poem Mr. Fraser ! And you added a flower that I love as well, the butter cup. I realize that all flowers are wild, 'ceptin those contorted by man, yet, the ones that I can see in the wild really taps a soft spot with me ! TY for leading me to this beautiful picture Sir ! james

Living in the Brecon Beacons for 12 years, James i fully agree with the last line. Such beauty is best left to the eyes.
