on the bike peth
a dirlin bob o blae-
bells!!!
on the cycle path
a vibrant bunch of blue-
the priest threeps:
'the wurd o God'
...a bairn ca's oot
the priest intones:
'the word of god'
...a child cries out
skypin faimilie
faur an near - in the gairden
a wab dirls
skyping family
far and near - in the garden
a web quivers
mornin Mass
throuch a stour - the braes
a'ready in mantillas
morning Mass
through a blizzard - the hills
already in mantillas
voar -
cheetlins
growein looder
spring -
chirpings
growing louder
peerie blue bonnet
yer heid bobbin whit
maisic dae ye hearken tae?
little blue-tit
your head bobbing
what music do you hear?
voar's airmy
on the muive - pynts o thair leisters
awroads
spring's army
on the move - points of their spears
everywhere
the sin sheen's
on the tuim fusky boattle -
he thocht the sin blinkit in't
the sun shines
on the empty whisky bottle -
he thought the sun shone in it!
watterside scart -
its spreid weengs
walcumin the sin
riverbank cormorant -
its spread wings
welcoming the sun
keek o day
muives athort the gairden
freest stooryin aheid
sunrise
moves across the garden
frost racing ahead
i the tirl
daffins skewin
tentie o the burn bygaun
in the breeze
daffodils turning
watching the stream pass by
