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!

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 mentalities are expanding:
dire foolishness there's blending!

Sans intelligence... of any style?
England's pain is not controlled:
arrangements aren't worthwhile; 
electorate's wishes, not extolled!

Rescind that Union, and forever,
'bought & sold for gold', however...
since 2014, Scotland is fresher ~
Now we're ready: union to sever!

Scotland/Alba

In love with Scotland? almost Scottish already!
Scots share your feelings... from their source;
almost everyone loves Alba/Scotland, happily
accepting newcomers: welcoming, of course!

The population’s ebbed and flowed historically:
fluctuations, for many reasons, happens now;
Alba will be your readily chosen home country,
Scotland/Alba is one and the same, that’s how!

Traditionally, we saw people leaving our shores,
for innumerable reasons… presently welcoming;
refreshingly revitalising….. Scotland ‘implores’:
upon arriving, “welcome” all Scotland’s to sing!

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...
