BladeA Poem by Hermes Varini, PhD Another poem of mine, still in a medieval Scottish tone, and mentioning the great battle of Stirling Bridge in AD 1297. There is a semiotic variant of this martial-philosophical composition.
Thou, dishonorable Highlan' skellum,
Thy dreary whunstane shall not see again! Nor thy unworthy Clan Banner, Yet my Blade! Yet my Blade! Gleaming here, owre, At auld Stirling Bridge, Wi' fiery bluid imbued, Graving still deep mirk stane, Under yon Steel Glare Ne'er to wane! © 2020 Hermes Varini, PhD |
