Array ( [sid] => 30288 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Carbuncle Garnet [time] => 2003-12-28 09:48:12 [hometext] => The earth people were the embodiment of the garnet of Scotland. Later the amethyst would replace it, Why? [bodytext] => My heart did break as red ran Scotlands blood.
It oozed in the lochs and stained the mud.
What is it that shines back at me?
I reached into the loch to set it free.

Tis a symbol I will call "the Blood of Kings".
The cost stands next to me, she'll be my queen.
When we marry I will present her with these garnets.
And my betrothed shall forever wear it.

"These I Malcolm III give you Margaret,
The Blood Of Kings.
To remind one of honor to bring.
To life, to death.
And to those whom we bring breath."

Then in time Englands wicked king came.
He released a wicked reign.
He crushed the symbol of honor to sandpaper, the fool!
For time would restore it under Victoria's rule.

The royal drops of blood live on and cry,
"I am not stone, I am life! Use me wise!

So you're not really Scottish, then?

That's a disappointment.

Enlightening poem, however -

"He crushed the symbol of honor to sandpaper, the fool!
For time would restore it under Victoria's rule."

Would suggest that you've forced this a little. If I were trying to describe sassenach evil, i'd use far more powerful language.

INteresting poem, however, Rita.
