A’ll aye luve that bonnie lass
Even though oor time hus gone an past
Naeone else culd ever surpass
Ma luve fir hur wis built tae last
She took a man wi many a flaw
Held his iced heart, an gently it thawed
An even though that man wisny very braw
That bonnie lass, she didny care at aw
Aye showin’ whit potential a hud in ma life
Puttin up wi ma moaning, it culd be awfa rife
In hur a’d escape aw despair an aw strife
An a dreamt that bonnie lass wuld soon be ma wife
A life bound thegether wuld huv been jist grand
But fir us that wisny whit the wurld hud planned
One day that bonnie lass she let go o’ ma hand
An a fell tae the pits o’ a bitter wasteland
Grievin’ an geetin’ fir aw that wis lost
A longed fir the heart in ma chest tae refrost
But a know if it did that bonnie lass wuld be cross
She’d no want me tae live, a life driven by loss
An so a’ll aye luve that fair bonnie lass
Even though fae ma life she’s noo gone an past
There’ll nae a wumin that culd ever surpass
Ma luve fir hur, is cemented tae last

Sadly there’s only 10 of these paving stones. I’ll probably write more Scots accented poems but not under this series.
Complaints are welcome, as are prompts for future Scots poetry.

Aww, such a sweet poem. But heartbreaking too. Where are the blocks in the photos? Did you take those?

Yes, it’s quite the sad tale but so much love.
They run along the harbour in my town. There’s 10 of them, it’s maybe less that a quarter mile stretch right down to the beach. I took all thr photos one morning as I was walking down.
There’s also some poetry quotes on the steps down to the beach itself. not sure what I’d do with those. Probably Instagram but I want better pictures in better weather.

Sounds cool. You should do it in the spring maybe.

Well it’ll all depend on the unreliable Scottish weather, but as soon as it’s nice I’ll head out. I do like taking photographs, even if the best camera I have is the one on my phone.

I think I may upgrade to a real camera before I go travelling again but until then thr phone does me fine. Besides it makes it easier to use Instagram which is definitely the plan for these little lines of maritime poetry.

I just joined Twitter. I’m not on instagram but can probably only manage one new platform a year, lol. A good camera for traveling is nice but the phone is so portable!

The weird part is I didn’t even write this about anyone. I wonder what would have happened if I had a muse.
I’m glad you enjoyed this!
