I keep thinking ' is fling from, or fling through better? But dance Isn't as bad. Whats wrong with:Thanks both....but google Highland Fling.
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.then still say dance is better!
I may be too peurile...dance may win.

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?

So "fling" works for you, then?

Is reel the third option?
Shall we dance?
