Burns Night today
oh Rabbie would be proud

People will recite and play
whisky drank by the crowds

Haggis will be eaten galore
neeps and tatties even more

Scotland will be partying through
their pride in their poet true

Glenfiddich, Talisker, Dalwhinnie
so many will be drank these whiskies

Happy faces all around
to celebrate a poet so sound

Rest ye well Rabbie Burns
know from all your poetry is learned

All across the world you’re revered
tonight your life to be cheered

And I’ll toast ye today
with a dram or two I say

Robert Burns
Born 25th January 1759-21st July 1796

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life. I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones. Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible. My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love. I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''

    1. Thank-you. We had to learn about him at school back in the mists of time. He’s amazing an died so very young. He inspires many till this day. Look some of his work up. I’m sure you can get free books of his online somewhere or buy one? Enjoy finding out more about him.
