Traditions Pt 1

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

Oh My

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

Bagpipes
Wailing noises
Learners seldom impress
Neighbours often threaten lawsuits
Windbags

Kilt the Look

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

Scottish countryside

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

The Last Music

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...

Travel Brochures

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!

Thistle Seed

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

Westie

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 -

Bagpipes

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.

Scotty's Bagpipes

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

Presbyterian

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

Time's Endless Deaths

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

Feel the Blue

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

On St Patrick's Day

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.

Discography of Silence

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.

All I'M Asking Lord

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

Celtic diva

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




 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..........

Children of Afghan

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?
