ur leavin

windy day  -

the leaves

are leaving

the badach staps

tae catch's braifh

amang the fawin leaves

the old man stops

to catch his breath

amongst the falling leaves

freestit wabs  -

windaes hingert

In lace

frosted webs  -

windows curtained

in lace

furst day o freest  -

tinklin o ice

in oor drinks

first day of frost  -

tinkling of ice

in our drinks

 i the mornin sin

maggies daffin -  suddent lik

bawdrons' tinklin bell

in the morning sun

magpies at play  -  suddenly

cat's tinkling bell

the plastic airt

o the stirlins' 

murmuration

the plastic art

of the starlings'

murmuration

the granfaither knock's stapt  -

the bodach

chacks's bluid pressure

the grandfather clock's stopped  -

the old man

checks his blood pressure

airly mornin bells  -

thair natterin tungs:

dinnae be late fir Mass!

early morning bells  -

their nagging tungs:

don't be late for Mass!

the train's sheddae

on the watter  -

twa jurneyin

the train's shadow 

on the river  -

two journeying

care hame  -

bi the front door

a wuidland o powls

care home  -

by the front door

a forest of walking sticks

i the souch

the maisie's brickly leaves

...gyte crackers

in the breeze

the maple's brittle leaves

...crazy castanets

 chilpie wund  -

in a sinblink

midges' hinmaist daunce

chilly wind  -

in a sunbeam

mosquitos' last dance
