Your poem "Scottish Castles Blythe" is a beautiful and evocative piece that captures the magic and mystery of this iconic landmark. The imagery of the golden light playing on the castle and the haunting sound of the bagpipes creates a vivid and captivating scene that transports the reader to this historic and enchanting place. I was particularly struck by the way you used the castle as a metaphor for the dreams and aspirations that we all carry within us. The way you wove together the themes of beauty, longing, and hope created a powerful and moving poem that left a lasting impression on me.

Hello dear Pat and you are welcome my dear friend.
The bag pipes certainly add to the enchantment. A most beautiful castle dear Pat and I have visited it myself, but not for many a year. Went there with my Mum and Dad when they moved to Scotland for a couple of years. Thank you for bringing the memory back.

I may have a number of years to plan ahead. Perhaps we will have a Cuppa with you… Dreams do come true. Smiles across the Pond. gently, Pat

I only holidayed in Scotland, although my parents lived there. I was in my early twenties, so was able to visit them a couple of times while they lived in West Lothian. Wonderful scenery up there. The lochs are incredibly beautiful. .

Hi Chris… your story reminds me of when I went to College one year 50 miles North of San Francisco.. read moreHi Chris… your story reminds me of when I went to College one year 50 miles North of San Francisco when I was 19. My parents raised me in the East Coast… and I scurried back home after flying to the West Coast fir a Year. My friend from school was with me.
I love to visit new places. I learned to Snow Ski in Squaw Valley almost in the State of Washington on the West Coast. We had all the steamed Artichokes in the Cafeteria that Year 1959. Now I love Avocados. Cheers !!! Pat

Dear and clever lady.. your haiku and the emotions included are wonderful. There's little as moving as the sound of bag pipes played skillfully. Hugs and best wishes, dear friend. Take care, keep safe and gentle hugs to your both. xx

Well, I am scottishese after all, so should comment 😀
Please remember if going there, to jump out your skin at the one o'clock gun, a cannon they let off so the whole city knows it's one o'clock. I suggest setting your alarm for one minute before, turning round and counting how many tourists you see three feet in the air when it goes off.
The sound still haunts my dream too Pat, and I was six when I heard it 😀

Life is like a River that includes the sound of Warblers among the trees laden with happiness and tears... Wings take us to places we discover and people who write the Music we love to hear... quietly.. more..
