Hi #poetsonthursday & all #poetrylovers my #poem 'A Bird Uncaged In #Hallaig Wood', published in Poetry #Scotland 104, is a shared keening: me & Sorley Maclean - bard of Rassay, by Skye - through the lines of his poem decrying the clearances of the #Gaels Sorley's lines are italicised.

This form of poem follows the example of 'The Golden Shovel'. It's a wee contribution to the tradition of #poets as allies across times & space.
