In true Robert Burns fashion you wove a tale of love for your lass of twenty years. It is quite evident what you mean, even though you are using the Scottish vernacular, so it really isn't necessary to translate. Nicely done.

What an awesome poem written in your Scottish dialect. I wrote several stories about Frankie the leprechaun and did his conversation with a touch of the Irish... i say a touch because I do not speak it...but I was able to read most of your poem and enjoy it because of what I had written previously... Loved it!

I love how language is used in this poem and I especially like the emotions it evokes. I'm so glad your loved one is recovering, most likely due to the love you pour out in this poem. Thanks so much for sharing this. :)

I know it's not the same thing, but I'm always a fan of an injection of language and culture into writing - ex: Angela's Ashes and the lesser known A Monk Swimming (written by his brother Malachi) or a Clockwork Orange - great work here, thanks for sharing. Later daze.

Hi Alex,
Your beautiful verse is such a tribute to your wife or love. I am American and tried to download QuickTime for my iPad and found their incompatible so I just read your poem with a small struggle. I was able to see the love shine through your lovely lines and loved your sweet phrase excitedly seeing an improvement in your loved one's health.
" Wait! A wee wee light is noo cummin' oan,
an' sum flesh noo startin' tae gei oan her bones.
Aye, aye, an' yer startin' tae read an aufie lote mair,
An' up frae 50 kilo's tae 60 noo, an' takin' care."
The Irish lilt lends so much more to this poem, you should never abandon it.
All the best,
Senyai

I enjoyed reading and listening to this great tribute to your loved one. I am glad you record this as it makes it much easier to understand the written words. Great rhyming throughout even with using your vernacular.

This is quite a different reading experience for me. I live in India, a non and have never visited Scotland. I do not recall having read any poem from Scotland. I read the poem with interest and tried to pick up words and check meanings in the notes furnished by you. I could pick up most of your poem. Thanks for sharing!

Having visited Scotland, I could pick up most of your poem. Still, yer nae speaking' Gaelic. I liked the story/poem but found the speech a bit off putting as I read your words. Nicely done.

I don't believe I've read or heard you read your poems. It's different, but not bad different. I very much enjoyed listening to you read it and in my opinion, you read it very well. I liked hearing the dialect and the "dictionary" at the end. Great job!

I wish there was a "seven" to give to you... I couldn't get the sound to work but no matter. My cousin is married to a Glasgow gal from many moons ago, so I'm familiar with much of what you write or at least how it might sound. So I enjoyed reading it aloud myself. My father was Irish and I love to speak to my cousins and capture that lovely Irish lilt that always reminds me of him. Your poetry is beautiful and I absolutely loved the way it reads. God bless you and keep you safe. I live in the beautiful Barossa Valley so we are both in Gods own country now! PM
