Just read a few of the last pages.
Think I'm done. Though I didn't see sages Neither did I see dumb. I saw mostly sorrow And hearts weak and weary And I think for tomorrow The forecast is even more dreary. Enough of that I'm done. |

Message to SeaKing
In Friendship, perhaps... (and then again, perhaps not!)
Critique less harshly – instead join in Friendship! I write not with honeyed words to win your praise; I simply let you have my contribution, Such as you need to cheer your emptier days. Friendship requires no gilt-edged invitation, No pathway of stars, no banquet table spread; Friendship, as such, comes unadorned and humble, Asking for naught and giving all instead. Friendship elicits content whate’er the moment, Sharing the good, the bad, the frowns and smiles; Friendship extends a broad and amiable shoulder, And reaches a gentle hand across the miles. No thoughts have I of falsehood or deception, Of using such Friendship for some selfish end; So, if you can say in truth, “I value friendship”, Take this my hand and I will call you “Friend” ! |

Is this thread in terminal disuse ?
This User Poetry thread is about as active as the frozen remains of Ötzi the Iceman!!
Surely it's gotta be somebody else's go next, before I post another of my 'orrible odes... C'mon folks, somebody please... ??? |

Nothing of what I've seen you write can be remotely described as unsuccessful.
As for me going ahead and posting --- Okay, but only after A.N. Other's contribution ! |

We took the High Road …. we drove out west before the call of dawn; the maiden of the night shone bright her suitors gathered round; as miles flew past the sky grew hale those nightly folk did pale; we watched as mountains far and proud did shed their nightly gowns; first they took a tinge of dawn upon their brows of greys, of pinks, of mauves; then as we rose through straths and glens that teasing light did ease away the shrouds; and in the silence of the morning glens we took a breath, so very deep, of malted grain that hangs and waits whilst it does age; the light grew bold and warm, and on the lofty bens, soft pillows wrapped them round; a gentle breeze fluffed up the down and shy became the sun, so by the noon the clouds began to cry; by side of loch, (so dark with peat, and deep,) the wind began to whip and sculpt such waves until the mirror dulled; and followed we the water course until we passed the shed; we drove on down the other side but still the skies were grey; an eagle flew across our sight and stag did stand his ground upon the lofty brae; we turned and laboured through the rain up through strath and glen, again; the mountain tops were there somewhere though washed away from view; but as we dropped the clouds did thin, and rain we left behind; we drove on east as shadows grew to point the way back home; the maiden was still a-bed by then though her suitors were lining up; It was a day so blessed with life, it was.... who cares about the rain! 25 October 2011 |

We took the High Road
I second Kenny's sentiments --- full of the colours and feel of Scoland. I love it!
Perhaps between us we can revivify this thread...(?) |
