A very unique idea, to say the least, first audio I've heard in my short time in the forum, and it was effective. It was evident that this was done in the 'vernacular' but being able to hear it spoken gave it more context, very good storytelling and the author notes added even more context, I enjoy vernacular because it allows the artist to be complete, nice work.

If there was an award for authors notes you would win hands down. Being English I know what you think of me :) I appreciate the lilt given to the language by the Scottish wording and expression but that is a lot of learning to appreciate the poem.

You have put so much effort into this piece it absolutely deserves the sixer. Your entire presentation is exquisite from the poem itself, to the accompanying voice to the details in your notes. I congratulate you on some very fine work. Lou

In whatever language a poet write a tribute and serenade about love, a good poet can understand waht it all means even witht the minimal of English words use. The last stanza summarized as follows.
"Although 20 years had flashed by, my love, your are still the love of my life - just as beautiful, a sculptured work of art too. It took only one second and one look to declare my unconditional love for you. Since that day I saw you across the room, my love for you has been growing more by the day!"
Though I do not understand or read Scottish but it is not difficult to understand poems of any language if we want to know its essence.
Absolutely great write. Well penned and such a lovely tribute to the goddess of our lives.
Cheerio, Ritchie. Congrats on the marital bliss of over twenty years!

Thank God for the author's dictionary below the piece. A tall tale well told in the Scots vernacular. As to the meter and phrasing..spot on as they say. The imagery and subsequent ageless plot is traditional. Excellent.

I do so wish I'd met your poetry a few years ago as I struggled to create an enrichment class focusing on the lands from which my grandparents had emigrated: Scotland, Ireland, and Canada. Your poetry and your author's notes rival anything I've seen for instilling a love of the old language. My dad loved to read Robbie Burns, as it reminded him of his father's reading to him as a child. Thank you for bringing it to life here for all of us to enjoy. I am a 'grandchild of Scotland,' and proud of it.

Love it! I enjoy the challenge of reading in the way the vernacular is spoken--it's fun and educational. I like the autobiographical nature of your work, too.

Hullo Alexgardiner ...
What you have written here takes me back to my childhood. One of my dear Mother's sisters was married to a Scot and I so loved listening to him speak that, young as I was, I used to say that when I grew up, I was going to marry a man like Uncle Jack!
I really enjoyed reading this. You certainly have provided readers with answers to the many questions they may have about the Scottish form of expression.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Love from .... Nanette Mary.
