Hearing Burns

 

Ayrshire's early childhood days
hearing what the teacher says,

then Burns Suppers every year,

served to fashion poetry's ear.

 

Now sitting here, so many years later

putting poetry's pen to paper,

writing these little poems of mine.

Really got to make them rhyme.

 

Hearing Burns was accepted for publication online in Sol Magazine, April 2004. Read on Radio Sarawak Wed 25 Feb 2009. Read at Yunnan University, Frid 3 June 2005.
