Poetry Drafts

Aspirations Expectations and desires for things to happen: ambitions, aims, plans... dreams/daydreams are the foremost within the mind... sans illusion; from the darkest of possible forms - to a star?  Each to their own, we know - different outlooks; "Le dùrachdan" / "With my best wishes" ~ perhaps, when combining my languages, a stanza 'cooks'?  Time will tell, a good bake or a wee collapse! I'm both writing and realising not to mix any metaphors within my poetic pieces (sandwichs?), Nevertheless, humourless poetry, I hereby see: less appealing, as sometimes humour switches! © Ewen A. Morrison ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Useless Kingdom Shadowy Scottish Unionist Trust, bemusing, obsessed with plotters: wishing Holyrood's ending 'a must':  Westminster's evidently in tatters! London's parliament's imploding... UK Government process's ending; Tories mentaliti

Grimace?

Used if something horrible, or grim has happened, expressing, saving words, breath, without expend? Are seen among certain members of an electorate, is south of Scotland's border... so can't exaggerate! © Ewen A. Morrison   🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 When one  thinks  about the UK's recent political years, the political leaning has been described in terms of right or left wing tendencies, which some people seem comfortable with... whether or not everyone can relate to what as clearly as they may do? ~ perhaps the fresher currents of political perceptions will do more than just steer our trains of political thinking... freshening concepts may actually evolve towards fresher terminologies? Times of change are wonderfully and educationally interesting: tomorrow's world awaits us, and here we're coming! 😍

Gordon Ross's Indycar Show ~

                                                         Indycar's Information ~ Always So practical rather than theoretical thinking, Scotland's preferred philosophy, expressing; Internationally witnessed: everyone's seeing  that Alba/Scotland's independence regaining! © Ewen A. Morrison  The Phoney Political War becomes a real one... judging by Gordon's Indycar show, which is always much more dependable than the Mainstream Media - which is generally unionist in its delivery! The time is here,  in Scotland: NOW! Alba gu bràth! Scotland forever! IS both our title and a belief: Scottish Constitution special: legally composed,  developed by like-minded & independent belief; Independence reclaimed ~ rather than imposed! © Ewen A.

E. A. Morrison @e.a.m.author, and:           Ewen A. Morrison < morrison.ewen@gmail.com At the end of the rainbow... not gold? There are numerous analogies which come to mind with this old photograph of mine, tickling my fairly wry sense of humour... originally, in my younger years, my key focus was on my family's well-being and so forth! Generally, when one's fit and healthy, paid employment is sought - comparatively easy back then, compared to the present times! We fortunate people could've counted our blessings while recognising how random such matters were - and perhaps, still are? Most of us know someone who'd be pleased to land a job, for various reasons, over and above the benefit of a paid income! My own 'job' ended on the 4th of February, 2010... I'd been an 'ADI': an abbreviation of DSA ADI, which is quite a mouthful 😐 That car crash destroyed both the car and my business - but not me 😉 ~ That incident finished my term

My Name?

                                                 Looking at you, looking at me?                                                                     My Name?     You can see who and what I am: and you know, I have a name Just like you, but NOT Sam! Perhaps, can guess what it is? You can see's not like eating: priming/chewing Cud is bliss! If I was a girl like you, then, Keira would suit me too...  I'm " Highland Coo ", no hen! GP x  😉 Darling, Keira, while I know you love reading, I hope you're OK with your GP's silly poems etc? Anyway, if you don't really like them, I'll cry! (anyway, Petendy-world is a nice place, even for some Grandparents too!) ~   We're really looking forward to coming and visiting your lovely Perth and our very lovely family, there! Bye, bye , Keira , and we'll be speaking again, soon!  GP 🌝 x

Revisingly...

                  Evolving                                                                                 We are as we are, everyone could say,               life's story, both follows... and guides; 'as-were', lies behind you... anyway ~ eventually, fresh discovering: glides! © Ewen A. Morrison                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                        Sometimes, life's path follows unpredictable routes - compared to wherever you'll really be... such is the lottery of life! These words flow quite easily, from someone who witnesses, but is more than just a witness - I'm the husband-father here! Many years after I'd met my beloved wife, Rosemary we became happy parents... first to our son, Scott, and in due course, our daughter Claire. I'll try not to elapse into parental doting tones - easier to write than to comply! However, today, Saturday 8 th of December 2018, I'm writing this pie

"UK is blocking..."

This part of a statement could be taken from a huge range of unfinished ones... almost anyone in Scotland could complete it - without the faintest hint of a positive conclusion! This particular piece comes from:  "THE UK Government will not allow Holyrood ministers to pay £65 settled status fees for European citizens who are working in Scotland's public services, Nicola Sturgeon has said." My political beliefs have emerged and evolved, year after year - and I'm in my sixties now. The current political situation is almost worse than the darkest of memories: "bought and sold for English gold"... a wee nod to our history... however, the 'far-right' are a real entity (enemy?), and to say otherwise would be extremely nieve and risky! Now, rather than thinking of such thoughts as hyperbole, we must realise that we're needing to act honourably and thoughtfully, for ourselves and our combined futures! One's grandchildren will hold us to account! T

Grimace? Used if something horrible, or grim has happened, expressing, saving words, breath, perhaps inking? Maybe seen among certain members of an electorate, at least south of Scotland's border, I'm thinking! © Ewen A. Morrison   I'm inflicted with some form of inbuilt 'reactionary-rhyming' obsession... ach well, so have some others I can think of too - you can add to that number, I suppose ~ who knows? 🌝    Anyway, my own history includes times when I've been inspired by both my actual work colleagues and the relevant incidents... perhaps this is an incurable condition? 😐 Potential?  'UK' faces bills: in the billions, we do hear, such chaos, much, much more than a tear! Theresa May, however, is implying that it is wiser than the rabbit from her hat? © Ewen A. Morrison  See what I mean? 😏

Alba: Scotland The above is the newly composed title for this Blog. The original title: 'Alba's Images' (Scotland's Images), was for what was becoming an Article-drafting style entity... for my own practice and assessingly developing my amateur typing abilities - proving to be quicker than my handwriting, these days(ish?). Most of us - if not all - are amateurs at the outset of any practice ~ so there's little shame to be concerned about; some of us are only gradually accepting the status of adulthood; in Scottish Gaelic: 's ann mar sin a tha ann - "that's how it is" ~ I hope you'll tolerate my mixing my languages here? When I say 'my languages', I'm truly entitled to write these words... my original language is really my 'mother tongue'. I had to learn a new language from my infancy, and I'm still in the process of evolving that particular education: a lifetime's study, (if not longer? ;) ... now, rather t
