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...

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...

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...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

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...

Alba and Personata
Heather with amazing colors,
Hollyhock and hyacinth,
Pansy and pink,
Moonstone,
Sardonyx,
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 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,...

Premium Member 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...

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...

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...

'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...

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...
