Prompt: Scottish

Found this lovely little poem on the Scottish Poetry Library website. Sorry to say the whole would not fit. Check out the whole poem at www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org/poetry/poems/robert-burns

I'm in Glasgow for a workshop and paid a visit to Rabbie Burns in St. George's Square. My first visit, and I didn't have time for a proper look around, but did manage to dive into a Waterstones for a few "souvenirs" ??

Headed to my first Robert Burns party tonight. I‘m taking a bottle of Balvenie and a copy of The First Fig by Edna St. Vincent Millay to read to the assembly. I‘ve also volunteered to be the kilt checker. I anticipate shenanigans.

No ceilidh or festive supper for me tonight but Happy Burns Night to all you lovely Scottish Littens out there. Sláinte Mhath! I‘ll be munching on neeps and tatties without the haggis (vegetarian here - sorry) and will snuggle up on the couch with my book.

I dug up some photos of Burns Nights past from when I was in college! #poetrychallenge2018

I have often thrown Burns Night parties as my grandparents once did (my grandfather is quite proud of his Scottish heritage) and wanted to post a few of his poems today for my #poetrychallenge2018 peeps, but of course this year we're getting to hear all about how much of a creep he was...🙄😤 https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2017/jan/25/burns-night-celebrates-t...

There‘s a literary holiday called “Burns Night”?!?!? How did I not know about this? I feel like a failure as a Burns and a reader.

A Scotswoman couldn't let Burns Night pass without a mention of Rabbie Burns 💙

So much love for Robert Burns. This little book never leaves my desk. And it's his birthday! I just posted a video reading of "A Man's a Man for A' That" on my YouTube channel.

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne.

My love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
My love is like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune.
