 Arran, Scotland On dusty summer days how sweet To leave behind the busy street And wander where blue islands lie Like jewels beneath the western sky Where waters cool caress the shore And shadow-misted mountains soar No grime, no noise, a place apart To ease the mind and lift the heart And when the tourists all are gone For local folk still life goes on And follows through succeeding days A pattern of time-honoured ways Of homely tasks, of smiles and tears Each season with its joys and ills Watched over by the ancient hills.... |

I love your poetry and I love your heart. It is a wonderful thing how we all come together from faraway lands. Thank you for sharing a part of your world. |

Yo dear Heart2Heart, This works well. I've been to Arran, there in the Firth of Clyde. It's a lovely place, full of lovely people. Love Bobby |

I haven't been, but it has been a dream of mine, I have Scotish ties.....Your poem increases the desire to visit there even more! and to the comment you made on my "Reflections" poem.... Well Heart, the "He" in this story is no longer....with me, just in memories, this was about a past love here on PIP.... Have a nice day! From Heart.... To Heart.... ~ARH  |
