Array ( [sid] => 71006 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ode To Sir Walter Scott [time] => 2004-11-10 19:39:14 [hometext] => Sir Walter Scott was born in an old town of Edinburgh, Scotland. He is one of my Scottish ancestors. I knew he was in my family, but I didn't know he was a poet too. [bodytext] => I did some research
to find my ancestory kin,
found a poem he'd written
The Lady Of The Lake in 1810.

I was amazed
by what I had found,
my ancestor was a poet
it nearly knocked me to the ground.

On August 15
in the year 1771,
Sir Walter Scott was born
a future poet to everyone.

When he was young
he was in much strife,
had an attack of polio
it gave him a lame leg for life.

A collection of poetry
he had written,
prose writing, ballad collections
as well as translations.

I couldn't have been more proud
to have a blood line of poetry,
with enthusiasm I'm filled
very proud of my ancestory.

Thank you
Sir Walter Scott,
my blood, my ancestor
from you, I've learned a lot.

Wasn't sure what to think of this when I first saw the title. Glad I read it. What an informative piece of poetry. Very interesting. You should be proud. Much peace to you.

Hmnn.

That man was responsible for such romanticism and wayfaring of my national heritage, its considered by some to be offensive, and not a little galling.

But, like all great authors, he is given the respect for having earned this power to change a nation's identity. I'm sure it may well have been all very different, had he not been alive at the time he was.

Interesting write.
