I am delighted that Poetry Scotland 103 has accepted my poem for publication and in celebration I created video to accompany the poem about a brazen Pine Marten at New Year. The soundtrack is a night flying Little Grebe with a few Tawny Owls for company.
Argyll
I am Humpback
Inspired by Simon Armitage's 'The Christening' about a Sperm Whale. The glacial striated rocks leading into Linne Mhuirich at the tip of Taynish National Nature Reserve have always reminded me of a knobbly Humpback. I chose to throw in a few Scots and Glaswegianisms as I think this Humpback would talk that way.
Just a bit of fun
