A Poem A Day No particular order of preference. No particular themes. Edwin Morgan - a great capturere of all things Scots... A View of Things What I love about dormice is their size what I hate about rain is its sneer what I love about the Bratach Gorm is its unflappability what I hate about scent is its smell what I love about newspapers is their etaoin shrdl what I hate about philosophy is its pursed lips what I love about Rory is his old grouse what I hate about Pam is her pinkie what I love about semi-precious stones is their preciousness what I hate about diamonds is their mink what I love about poetry is its ion engine what I hate about hogs is their setae what I love about love is its porridge spoon what I hate about hate is its eyes what I love about hate is its salts what I hate about love is its dog what I love about Hank is his strong vest what I hate about the twins is their three gloves what I love about Mabel is her teeter what I hate about gooseberries is their look, feel, smell, and taste what I love about the world is its shape what I hate about a gun is its lock, stock, and barrel what I love about bacon-and-eggs is its predictability what I hate about derelict buildings is their reluctance to disintegrate what I love about a cloud is its unpredictability what I hate about you, chum, is your china what I love about many waters is their inability to quench love. by Edwin Morgan New Selected Poems, Carcanet Press Ltd., 2000 Copyright Edwin Morgan
