SCOTLAND

Corncrakes and snowflakes and dragonfly wings,
Forests and rivers and stretches of sand.
Swallows and curlews and hurricane winds,
Artists and poets and arable land.

Rainfall and bracken and ptarmigan trails,
Gift shops and tartan and bagpipe parades.
Buntings and eagles and sounds filled with sails,
Hawthorn and hoar frost and daylights that fades.

Moonlight and moorland and red morning glow,
Castles and cafes and Ossian's cave.
Otters and red deer and deep drifts of snow,
Mountains and gem stones and moments to save.
