Where I must be...edit 2, trueenigma,edit 1. billy the cliche killer

[tectak]

there is something amusing about buzzards wearing white hats that will always bring a smile to my face.
Hoist and petard! I knew I had shot an elephant in my pyjamas!
The sonics are nice throughout (although the alliteration is heavy handed with a blushing self awareness). Some of the lines 'sound' so nice and fresh it is easy to forget they don't actually hold water ('brittle breeze' 'glass panes on sun sweat days'). brittle breeze is a drying wind....you nearly got it. It holds no water. Stick dry and dessicating, the icy easterlies (pun) turned everything crisp and as brittle as if dipped in liquid nitrogen. There were serious incidents of fire daily. The "glass panes on sun sweat days" fails. Though the air was cold, the sun was very strong. We walked, sweating, beside lochs frozen into panes of glass. I have a picture. I was meter bound. I was rhyme tied. I was , frankly, fucked. I will look at it again.

Also, the writing is a high enough caliber that I want some closure, some explication. Yah, you need to be somewhere, I need to be at work, for a paycheck. They are not going to pay you to hang around in Scotland, retired or not.

Still, fun read.

;-) damn. Is it common usage in Scotland?.
I want it recited; bryophitic braes.

Bryophytes are an "order" which includes moss. There are bryophyte study groups and societies world wide. See "bryology". It is second nature to use the word in mycology as many fungi grow in, or are "associated", with moss (Mushroom from "mousseron". French for moss)
Look and learn.

I knew it had to do with your mushroom fetish, but ok. There are darker desires. Or are there? ;-) I looked up Sheildaig: Very nice place. And they have bed and breakfast, so don't be shocked, when I am already there.

cheers

mad dog me

Stay in the Torridon INN.Not the Torridon Hotel. Visit the HOTEL whisky bar, they are beside each other. Sheildaig is just round the corner. The girls are pretty, the guys not witty, the nights are long as Hiawatha's song. You should do well.
