    Poem Commentary

    a tribute to the opening matriarch, that would lead to a Coat of Arms which hangs in the Chapel of Windsor Place, a death in a duel, and to all the Hamilton Women

    A Highland Lass

    she started her dance amid highland dale
    bringing heel to knee, elbow gently bending
    touching thou head, a stretching to morning
    red hair all a flow, anew spin did begin
    bowing gracefully, to unseen abettor

    skirt in hands with thighs all exposed
    toes now a glow reaching towards heaven
    moving attune silent rhythm, sung to a heaven
    of love unborn, and mornings of bliss

    of love unborn, and mornings of bliss
    cheeks all a flush, green eyes a flaring
    sheepishly grinning his dictum awaiting
    preferring more dance, as unison reigns
    the hills be a blaze, loves glowing aura
    ensuing waltz's amidst flower's all a dale

    a spinning the talus, a view now shared
    a tumbling together a laughter arose 
    over and over a dizzy like wined
    now giddied all a glee
    entwined betwixt loves embrace

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
