Man skirts fill the scene
Whining outlawed bagpipes sing
His kilt of plaid green

His face turned red while he played
The bagpipes for Tartan Day
Not for lack of air
But people's stares
When the wind blew his kilt away!

Bagpipes
Wailing noises
Learners seldom impress
Neighbours often threaten lawsuits

awaken bagpipes
riled up in broguish accent
traversing drawbridge
of Cawdor Castle
enchanting chanter and drones

A certain poise, the bagpipes lack
Not being rude, it’s just a fact
The kilt is first-rate
The rest, not so great
Red in the face, squeezing your sack

a rumbling sound came from the pipes
sounding like playing bagpipes
you have been slaughtered
I have been watered
now looking for new sink types

Near to a castle
in the Scottish countryside,
next to a deep lake
looking at the blue waters
~the nature plays the bagpipes

How many can say they love the bagpipes
Hands please, uh you over there the Plaidy type
Another that's two
A guy having a snooze
Sounds like stuff they play when somebody dies

they heard the faint strains
of 'Amazing Grace' playing
on Scottish bagpipes
static and then buzz
a new pod victim had left
a radio on...

It's two thirty, there's a knock at my door
Hey, it's my neighbour, what's he here for
"it's so plucky of you!"
Playing my Bagpipes the noo
If I wasn't, then what are you here for

Australia white sand beaches where koalas play
Hollywood glamor and stars, you'll want to stay
Tour Scotland, then France
Bagpipes first, then romance
Reading travel brochures always make my day!

Is a “catfish” a cat or a fish, let's get this straight
Haven't slept since hearing 'bout 'em at age eight
How about a doodle sack?
Yup! Bagpipes, how about that!
Stay tuned for more, there's no sign they'll abate

Sword flashing fire flows
leap lurch land on pipe led toes
Down hill slicing foes
The title comes from Scotland's flower
The picture is a young wild clansman
with a shiny wet sword
led by bagpipes like a wind blown thistle seed

Deep
Brown eyes
Scottish born,
Ears up listens
To the pensive sound of bagpipes wailing
And feels the Celtic wind tell of legends -
Dreams of heather -
Highland hills -

He walked through the sands at Ayres,
playing a slow grinding song
of regret and broken dreams.
The moaning groan of the bagpipes
spewed bitterness and pride
in a twisted tune.
His footsteps trailed the sands behind
a steady line of sorrow
and loneliness for kin.

Brambles surround Scotty's bagpipes
Briars sharp, of severest types
He thought that he could
Play tunes in a wood
Instead of music ~ out came gripes
A tip of the hat to Jeff Kyser,
whose poem 'Penny Whistle'
inspired this Limerick. :) gw

Always used to confuse
Pedestrians with presbyterians
Understandable I suppose
Given my limited vocabulary
Watch out presbyterian crossing
ahead
Certainly some caution justified
Wouldnt want to run one over
There'd be bagpipes at the funeral
And one less at the Hogmanay

The clocks - tick, hum, blink
knowing they count only coup
on time's passing
No bagpipes mourn
time's endless deaths
her moments laid to rest
Yet time as stoic
mourns them all
as sunrise moves to set
Time is - and was - and so must be
a shadow of its self

A sea of Blue line the city streets
A motorcade escorts him through
Bagpipes and drums ready to be heard
As white gloves line the hats brim
All in sync a salute to NYPD Blue
A saddened day that should not have come
A young man taken from
Prayers and tears look beyond
In a sea of true, feel the Blue

Today there won’t be a parade;
Concessions that Covid has made.
With no bagpipes or fifes
It’s befitting, since life’s
At a standstill from which we’ve not swayed.
Still, I’m wearing a bit o’ the green
Though, of course, if I had to come clean,
Being Irish I’m not
But I’ve never forgot
On St. Pat’s to become a colleen.

What is the point of grandma’s lullaby
if the child nestled in her arms
cannot be soothed?
Or the wail of the bagpipes,
lost as easily as the soldier’s body,
bloody and bruised.
See the shrike
and her cries in the wind,
left unheard and reproved.
By this, music is forgotten,
and seen as a mere
needle in a groove.

Lord, let
Me tidy up
A few things
With me clever
Scottish Bagpipes
Well, I know
The battlefield
Shall claim
Her brave soldiers, but
Danny deserves
A proper resting place, now
Show him
The road
To heaven's gate
All I'm asking, dear Lord
Is to please
Bring our
Danny boy
Back home,
To sweet Ireland
Just a heart beat away

in a land of make-believe
i roam the meadows
of a celtic realm where
bagpipes haunt the air by day
and in the midnight hour
harps are played by angels
in my world of fantasy
i own a castle by the sea
and have a voice of gold
i sing irish folk songs
all day long while looking
out my tower at the beauty
and i'm as happy as can be

Jesus was Palestinian
At this sad time
solemn remembrance
200,000 plus slaughtered Palestinians
bombed and shot
like fish in a gold fish bowl
none will come back to life
in three days or ever
children lost
murdered by the most evil
cult in the world
Bethlehem surrounded yet again
bagpipes will prevail..........

Poisonous laburnum hang downwards,
These dusty streets,
Hot as herbs and spices,
Touching deep buttery Panjshir Valley,
The Great Highland Bagpipes.
Sweaty, I will tell you,
About hegira-state,
Our rugged landscape,
Our legendary generosity,
The children of Afghan.
Dad, Valley of the Five Lions?
The legend of five spiritual guardians?
