ooo - see, I like poets rather than specific poems... lemme think.
'kay
Tam O'Shanter - Rabbie Burns (couldn't not have at least one Burns poem in here!)
Your Attention Please - Peter Porter
Wild Geese - Mary Oliver (nwhepcat recently introduced me to this one and it's pretty resonant with me at the moment)
Do Not Go Gentle - Dylan Thomas
for the fifth, can I include a poem that was written (by Edwin Morgan) as part of a song lyric? If so then "Scottish Fiction" by Edwin Morgan
It isn't in the mirror, it isn'ft on the page It's a red hearted vibration Pushing through the walls of dark imagination Finding no equation There's a red road rage, But it's not road rage It's asylum seekers engulfed by a grudge
Scottish friction, Scottish friction
It isn't in the castle, it isn't in the mist It's a calling of the waters as they break to show The new black death with reactors aglow Do you think your security will keep you in purity You will not shake us off Above or below

There's a red road rage,
But it's not road rage
It's asylum seekers engulfed by a grudge
Scottish friction, Scottish friction

It's a calling of the waters as they break to show
The new black death with reactors aglow
