Most delightful wood grouse
Striding so graceful

When Ben McDuff did his Highland Fling
But so fast did he fling than she came unclung
And over the Highlands she was flung...

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....

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

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

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

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...

nature

iron cold grips the valleys and highlands
 with snow - the winter's offspring -
  snarls at sassy snowdrops

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

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.

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....

high in the
highlands 
Scotland
where he
found a
new yes

an

entirely new
species of
butterfly and
named it
after his
wife

now

she is
my wife
as i stand
awkwardly
with not one
but a dozen roses

in

hand 
thinking
obviously
not planned
very well for how
can this top that...

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...

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...

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.

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 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!

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....
