Unhappy Highlandheart, I didn't want to push you off your own thread

Here's a wee virtual flower for you!

I just could't stop. Sorry. Must be my Scottish blood, hehehe! Hope you don't mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About the novel. I will do the translation with some speed.
Yesterday I have begun to write a Scottish novel called "The Seannachie's Ring"...

Scattered out to the world like the stars of the night

and settled on foreign and barren shores
far away from sweet heather and mist-covered moors.

No heart could forget, though the new life was good,
Where the pride and the honour had their ancient roots,
The songs and the legends of Lomond and Tay
made their dreams and emotions live on till today.

No money or riches could ever purchase
the secretful pride of the old Scottish race,
the smell of the heather, the song of the lark,
the bright northern light that sweeps through the dark.

When the stormwinds of Scotland sweep over the main
To call home the children of Alba again
With sounds of the pipes and of ancient song
The Scottish will go where their heart does belong.

Hehehe, that's pathetic, isn't it?

Jacob- hun that was very very heart warming Ohh lord I felt it right in my chest...wow..awsome!!! I hope to write like that someday...I give you hun a TWO THUMBS UP!!!
Thanks for sharing it....but I'm greedy I want more..lol

Re: Re: Patriotic poetry...

Aaaaaaaaaw, you're nice, Lass71! There was some more I posted in this thread, but if you want more, I could send you some to your email address...

Well, I like your style much better, you don't stick that much to the old-fashioned patterns as I do. But I am a bit of that old-fashioned romantic loon...
