Trio
A lovely seasonal poem by Edwin Morgan is briefly available to read online. More from perhaps Scotland's greatest living poet at the Poetry Archive.
Beautiful! Thanks for that. I actually needed a little uplift from the post-holiday crash, It also helps that Glasgow is my beloved home town.
This is a delightful reminder of the transporting power of well-chosen words.
I now have the phrase 'warm chihuahua' repeating in my head, but as if sung by a trio of feisty backing singers to a doo-wop warble:
♫ wom chi-wa-wa, wom chi-wa-wa ♫
*joins in*
♫ wom chi-wa-wa, wom chi-wa-wa ♫
*feels like buying the world a Coke*
nice post...thanks for sharing that with us. The line:
" Monsters of the year
go blank, are scattered back,
can't bear this march of three."
is fitting given the "Monsters" of war and hate we've all experienced these past few years. Hopefully the world will discover its own "three" to scatter what we've wrought.
I work in an office with two chihuahuas. Now, every time they walk by, they do so to a faint wom-chi-wa-wa background beat.
Also, what HuronBob said. Hear, hear.

Bees!
bees and pete on the same day!!!! Hoooooo-RAY!!1!
I am having a dreadful time reconciling the tartan-clad chihuahua with 'Scots wha hae'.
Let the Sassenach fear for their ankles.
bees and pete on the same day!!!! Hoooooo-RAY!!1!
*set Burmese tiger trap for neddy, lines bottom with extra-fluffy pillows to be nice*
Good bees us all! Everyone!
*does a happy bees-is-back dance*
It never ceases to amaze me when the written word prodces a physical response - a tightening of the stomach, a lump in the throat, this curious moisture under my eyes.
"Curious moisture?" Quid can explain that -- it was MCT.
wom chi-wa-wa, wom chi-wa-wa♫
