Such beautiful images set off against a sad and horrific ending. The contrast gives the poem power beyond the expected.

The subtly haunting reality lurking at the edges of this poignant piece beg whither, answered by the birds\' chirping replies, as the children from ages past mull returning to the land of their forefathers. Lovely and beautifully rendered. Thank you for sharing.

Mayhap you? This was a lovely lesson chockfull, seemingly to the brim, with invocations fit to make me swoon. Grandly rendered with marvelously excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy, thank you so very much for sharing.

I have been to Scotland many times before and can feel the freshness of the mornings expressed so well in these lovely lines. Amazing stuff.

Ireland has a fine tradition of producing memorable poets. I am familiar with Yeats, Heaney, Auden and MacNeice. You have mentioned others. I feel an urge to explore further. Pleased I stopped by to read you today Danniel.

The Colour of Rain
Fay Slimm. said:
Hello Daniel - - with a late but friendly welcome to M.P.S. How interesting to learn words that roll off the tongue - - Freyr the rain god has been busy here too of late - - Cailleach Bheur has sent us milder weather this winter so we have early Spring flowering in gardens - - I love all that\'s strongly Gaelic - - thanks for sharing the meanings of festivals that I hope are still being celebrated

Wow! I love the imagery you implemented and it really led the story through a fun journey. All life just existing and doing and not doing and everything that is under one unescapable part of nature, rainclouds. Great job! 💖
