yes, you adeptly took the hats off the buzzards which is good. I like all of the changes except "flings". Cliche or not, the dancing was still better reading, so . . .

I rather agree, Fling wouldn't be so bad if it Wasn't followed by 'in'---flingin highland haze. I keep thinking ' is fling from, or fling through better? But dance Isn't as bad. Whats wrong with:
I sip the land,
From raindrop springs in highland's haze
In raindrop sprinkled
In raindrop spattered
As raindrops fly through
In raindrop spraying
As raindrops spray from
In raindrop splashing
As raindrops splash in

I'm sorry.

Thanks both....but google Highland Fling. then still say dance is better!
I may be too peurile...dance may win.
Best,
tectak

maybe there is a third option . . .

If the Highland Fling was a magazine, it would be on the top shelf of the "Dated Cultural Stereotypes" section in WH Smiths next to the "Russ Abbott Gazette".

How about "Reel". It's about the only one of the non-joke Scottish dances that would fit (the others being "Strathspey" and "Jig"). "Ceilidh" even?
