David Kavanagh Poet Tanka

Braveheart Secrets Spilt

just under his kilt
                 slightly hanging at a tilt
                     from the tip to hilt
           once great weapon starts to wilt
             highland dirk ~ covered in silt

By David Kavanagh 

highland dirk = Scottish stabbing weapon
