What a treat! As a linguist and a lover of language in general, I teach Spanish and on occasion French, I found this poem of love written in the vernacular to be a delight. Commend you for your daring, as I know there are some who will not appreciated the beauty of your words. An added bonus to hear you read your poem. Wonderful...

I love your dictionary for those that can't navigate such a sensitive poem from the heart. Words be damned, the emotion of this piece brought tears to my eyes. My wife and I went through cancer a few years back and I'll never forget the day we had to cut off all her hair. I felt like my soul was left laying on the salon floor. We went through it and the happiest days were watching her heal. So flip up the back o' ee' kilt to the doubters! Long live love! Thank you, Ridley

This is beautiful! I love the use of the Scottish vernacular. It gives it a different classical "flavor". I also like how you combine this lovely language with more modern ideas, such as stupid jokes, face all a grin, and clumsy heart. Delightful!

It's so good to have you back mate and to hear that your lass is on the mend. I missed reading your poetry. Although, I must admit a great deal of it I don't understand, but it's different and I enjoy it. Welcome back my friend. Bill

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
You're very brave to use the Scottish dialect - especially on this site with members from all over the world. I was born and bred in Newcastle on Tyne, though I no longer live there, so I understood the poem and found it a very gentle love poem. Saying how she, the one you love, has been feeling down for the last 2 years yet worries about all those around her. It's lovely down to earth poem. No strong passion described (tho' it may exist) just gentle love which goes so well with the way you have written it. I enjoyed it. Regards Dorothy

Ah! Breath taking lyrics that would melt the
coldest stone heart. Sick as she was, her light
still shined for you ,but alas she began to gain
weight and her light shone brighter each day.
The old language in conjunction with your beautiful
love story fills my heart in it's beautiful bouquet.
Glad to find you this morn' my friend. Your humor
and wit is a wonderful gift...keep us smiling.
