Scottish Garden of Verse

The Bard of Loch Broom
By Lynne Remick


Minstrel of tales
Weaver of woes
through lyric and verse
the truth
how it grows!

Nearby Loch Broom
spinning his poems
cobbling his prose
A juggler of rhyme--
what wit
this bard shows!

The Highwayman
By Lynne Remick

He drifted down like Scottish Mist
this Highwayman so bold
A knight in shining armor
Inspired by tales of auld

He met a stately lady
clad in silks of blue and green
The bonniest lass of all the land
walked right into his dreams

She looked deep into his amber eyes,
this man so kind and braw
but her father saw a different man
than the one she saw.

So she refused to waltz with him
upon the heather moor
Based upon his meager station,
she firmly closed the door

Now the highway man, he wanders
waiting for his bride.
He'll never have another
For the sake of love nor pride.

Foreboding Deep
Black, fathomless beauty
Surrounded in myth and monster

High on the cliff
Protecting her people
Edinburgh's defending fortress
