Dissected Life Story ©
Stella
Fife, Scotland
2005
His Father grew flowers on gentle banks
Soft days half time school
No doubt barefoot in summer
Changes and town.. youth's desire
And rite of passage
Yet still Jean
Parish scandal. censure
Did he stand on a stool
I think not
French language
Outward looking
Quite the charmer
Ladies looked down from their window
In Edinburgh Town
'O A' the Airts' ringing in her ear
Jean stood alone
Bairns at her feet
The magnifying glass of fame
Dissected days of a poet
