Flee Fly Flo Flung

To Ben McDuff poor Mary would cling
When Ben McDuff did his Highland Fling
But so fast did he fling than she came unclung
And over the Highlands she was flung

In Awe

I will lift up my eyes to the highlands; the moon and the stars far beyond; bathe in wonders before me- delight in holy humility.

Scottish Scenery

The Scottish Highlands;
     purple painted  landscape and
     snow dusted mountains.

     Majestic eagle;
     soars high over mountain top 
     calling to his mate.

As I look into his eyes
Saltire proud is he
Highlands, the Glens, I go
Alba he resides, my love

Demain Matin

timid forest animals watched her burn
as white flames melted the frozen ground
and turned their world from mythical to hermitical

it was the day the splendid highlands corroded

Highlands

Beneath terraced mountain peaks,
Where stars reach down like sequestered cousins,
And the land is split by silvern rivers,
The first tentative seed heads of snow
Settle on the sered treeline.

nature

iron cold grips the valleys and highlands
 with snow - the winter's offspring -

Tayaw: the Flying Bird Dance of Native Highlands

Like a flying bird they swayed 
To the flow of a beating gong 
Like two little kids that played 
To the sound of a native song 

All the others came to dance 
Flock of birds; flew high and low 
They soared together, all at once 
They all let their feelings flow

Sanctity

Lifting eyes I see a vision.
Senses feel cool crisp mountain air.
I know not my mortal mission.
Though this glory I hereby share.
Rising peak of Heavens highlands,
Paradise, our ecstasy withstands.

Colors of a Wintered Life

Imbued rose colors
of birth. Sky tinted billowed
petals, junked. Florid

gardens, immaculate.
Scents of citrus heavens. Bloodshot
tinctured cotton

colors. Rubicund 
chalk crumbles, powders highlands
thrusting. An ingress

kerfs a hyloid 
barrier. Cruer clots. Spook.
Cimmeran smudges.

Whisky

Destilled and pure
Scotch Whisky my favourite
Matured in old oak

Pure water from the Highlands
The scent of ocean and land

Destilliert und rein
Scotch Whisky mein Lieblingsgetränk
Gealtert in alter Eiche

Reines Wasser der Highlands
Geruch von Meer und Land

Rain Forest Zone

Where the zone reigns,
It often rains:
Soaked clouds permitted reins
That light up smiles of grains
On highlands and plains,
Overfilling drains:
Here no friendship feigns,
Skilled Planters for gains,
The unskilled its pains…

A worry for trains
And call for Brains
Over the water-covered rails
Or Engineering fails!

Calling
I hear the pipes from far away
drummers in fields play
highlands and bogs
pipers march
in dawns lifting fog
past forest and streams
overlooking stormy seas
the brave need no sword
In kilt they know who is lord
comrades and comradely
the knights of the highlands
know the battles are won
when in kilts the Pipers sound
aye lad's, I too march
homeward bound

Premium Member Eyes of a Montagnard Girl 1963

EYES OF A MONTAGNARD GIRL 1963
Eyes without reason,
never having an end
searching forever,
never finding a friend.

Eyes without mercy,
stealing all that was you,
changing forever
what you thought love could do.

You will love her forever.
as she'll love you the same,
But it stays in the Highlands
as if we never came.

Premium Member Poetic Brook Where Adverbs Bloom

Astounding spot for poems to arrive
Babbling brook of adjectives blooming
Cool waters of creativity congregating
Delectable phrases flowing with sheer delight
Enthusiastic muse enjoys nature’s essence
Fortuitous this inspirational place found
Gleeful gratitude to be her welcome guest
Highlands magic in this little sliver of heaven
Jumping adverbs splash with joy in jubilancy

Quito

Quito sing the song of my heart
between your mountain ranges
the air so light so high are you

I watch the lights at night's fall
Basilica Del Voto in all her
grandeur.  Sweet Ecuador holds you so dear!

You were born upon the ruins
of an ancient Inca City
I lay my soul at your feet.

Sing to me my Andean Highlands!
Kiss me with your ancient lore
dust my lips so gently, I
close my eyes!

Premium Member The Squeal

Standing on the crest of my life
Reached with punch and some fire
Wonder I still, what the squeal 
Of the gate closing be like
Carrying as it might be 
A message lurking 
That the years of indulgence
Of running as free as a deer
On the highlands boundless
Of thoughts and abstraction
And of diligence and sweat 
Had run out of steam
To be never refired again
As in time would stop by
The Retirement, 
To take its final call.

Come to my boudoir Cheri
I am here all for thee
In red and lace
I shall entangle you will love
Entice you with lust
Tease you till desires run dry
You shall be the knight who rides my thigh
In the bonny highlands we shall have our romp
Meadows and fields of summer scent and breeze
I shall wrap you in my honey warmth
Mine, all mine you will be
Wrapped, entwined around my wee finger
Enslaved with love
My love
You belong all to me

    heavenly heathered highlands ~

Old Friend

Old friend life n death n kis-of-met, and life begins again, though we have never met, old friends we do remain, endured the war and slaughter saw, reborn forlorn again, you were my wife or daughter, more, in the highlands i was slain, you will return to me, when we depart again, the veil to cross where secret be, a memory there to gain, old friends we do remain..... thank you ...

When the Mist Has Rolled Away

Upon the highlands
Few have walked, except the brave
That seek a closer embrace
With the divine plan.
Like persian carpets
Evergreen spread at the feet
Of tall rugged physiques
Of guards against threats
Of unholy plights
That rape life by hands of greed
That ever their sheer majesty
That loves the sunlight
Captures the sweet mist
That kisses its surfaces
Each dawn, remains untainted
That heaven be missed.

Premium Member Rivers Integrate Life and Landscape

Drainage lines dissect river catchments
Carved by water flowing down to sea
Recycling raindrops sucked from ocean
Carried in puffs of clouds to highlands
To fall as rain feeding river flows
Sustaining life that thrives in currents
In rapids, trickles, waterfalls, swirls.
Life adapted to flow, stir and surge
That replenishes oxygen, food
In drips, squirts, spurts, splash, currents and flows.
Pulsing flow of rivers down drainage
Mirrors our blood flow circulation.
