Teleryn the Bard
Born within sight of the Northern sea
Where sea birds call and dolphins play
From his mothers womb into this world
Damaged ,destined to travel alone.
Shubbed by a father who couldn’t accept
Teased by children who thought him strange
Into a man he grew studied the stars
With a voice strong loud and clear
Told the tales of heroes of old
Round the

Alba Paradise
Alba Paradise
There on the sea bed is where we play
Among the fishes and plane wreckage
Look there's my plane in bits
Nothing more than a curiosity now
It brought me here and made my form
Killing me along with the others
Other Comet planes fell too
We are not alone on the sea bed
Some are happy and others sad
Me I'm in

A Star Shines In Alba
A Star Shines in Alba’s Sky
Star shines above a frosty mountain where sheep in summer grazed,
Bright shining ones gathered in vast numbers to praise,
Snow fell to cover the granite rock and where heroes lay in the ground.
Murdered by those they gave a place round the fire hearth,
Raised a glass in toast to their health warming

Rebellious
Rebelliousness... or normal conformities;
Individually, as they do have differences...
Awareness can easily detect absurdities,
Yet, who'd truly ignore rebel utterances?
Hobby works are rarely publicised, or true:
Who'd decide what's acceptable for verse?
Rebels cannot be disciplined, couldn't do;
Simply keep quiet, accepting it's adverse!
Please, come to my world: Scotland/Alba,
Rebelliousness flourishes within our souls;
Graciously, welcome to share

'Rebel Poetry'
Rebelliousness... or normal conformities;
individually, of course, have differences,
a person's definitions may bar absurdities,
yet, who'd truly ignore rebel utterances?
Amateur writings are rarely publicised, so
who'd determine what's acceptable for verse?
Rebels can not be disciplined... no can do...
should one keep quiet: accept it's adverse!
Otherwise, come to my world: Scotland/Alba,
rebelliousness flourishes within OUR souls;
wherever from, welcome to share

Cover To Cover - Jessica Alba
* For Jessica Alba ... and the splendor of her smile. *
Oh, the enigma of her face ...
Its melting mysteries and moody veneers
When sad, like a brumal, aching, mist-muddled beach
Wild tresses framing it like surf-swept seaweed
Sandy spindrift, left by her squall ...

Heather with amazing colors,
Hollyhock and hyacinth,

Opal
Among the tall mountains, in a sunny pure sky shortest day,
It was a neat picnic of the fascinating Motacilla Alba and M A Personata

Alba Rises
Devolution, Independence, call it what you may
It's all about people, and what those people say
If they have decided, it's time the splits to be
It's the end of a flagging Empire, I'm glad I'm alive to see
What we call the United Kingdom, it's living in the past
There was always going to be a time, forget the

Alba and Albion
Alba and Albion are just the same, but the White Isle is all inflamed
going barmy with boredom hoping or fearing the ballot of 9/18 that
could make or break the Kingdom by the Sea, if independence or
separation it be: Gordon and Ray had their day as comrades in the
Royal Artillery as NCOs.

Alba Eagle
Nobody should ever fear whilst the Alba Eagle flies overhead.
For if you know the Alba Eagle you'll know his words are said
He's a watcher and a keeper, having been here for hundreds of years
For you've been invited into his realm, to allay life's living fears
Being universal, European or other, through his door your welcomed

She.Alba
Beautiful Siren from a distant sea
Doctor Donovan wrote of their Mastery
Aquatic, seduction enchants me…
Merman disguised the Light in his eyes
Sang the songs that a heart finds nice
Extending a hand he unraveled his web
And my sister was there after her death
“Wana ride?” was the question he mimed
And I, tempted by his suggestive rhyme
Never hesitated, to

Alba Semiplena " White Rose "
Alba Semiplena
A Romans gift
In bloom once a year
Flowery lift
One of the oldest Roses
To grace our lands
Delicate in delight
A flower so grand
These perennial plants
Protected by thorns
The are such a picture
We could never scorn
Of all the flowers that do it for me
It's the Rose, whatever colour they be
My entry into Brian Strands " BLOOM

Alba
Rustic mountains
Through glaciations
Moulded this wonderful
Scottish Nation
Caledonian Forests
Covered our land
On our Western Islands
Golden beached sands
Glens and rivers
Cris cross our land
Glorious moors
Where the Highland Stag stands
Majestic and tall
Proud and might
This king of beasts
The most wonderful sight
Scenery to thrill
Heather-ed in purpled bloom
Look out any window
Its our own front room
Golden Eagles
Soar above these lands
Winged royalty
In
