Haiku Friday: Scotland!
Full of Hogwarts-yish intrigue, Scotland continues to fascinate me. Sure, the people can apparently be contained by a twelve-foot wall, but the Scottish contributions to the arts, the academy, and the beverage sciences are hard to deny.
And now they have decided to remain a part of Great Britain!
Let's haiku about all things Scottish today. Here, I will go first:
What is not to like?
Best monster, best whisky, and
The best accents, too!
Now it is your turn…
Just use 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third...

The Sea --rough rocky
Cold belies the hearth warmth
Cottages taking you in.
I sit with my tea
And listen. An old man brings
Burns back from the dead.

He asked her to sing
Annie Laurie and when she did
To the airplane full
Of people, they clapped.
He pulled a whittled wood out--
When flung made castle

It is a thin place.
Where saints walked and supped and
Copied God's love letters.
All the while the sea
Sang sometimes sweet and sometimes
Cruel. They had little
But a richness of
Song and whiskey tasting of
Smoke.Earth.Pride.Fierce love.
