If I can bring a tweek of joy to anyone this summer with a few lines, then that is a real joy - and not just to me. We have today been in so much sadness that any happiness is much welcome. This morning we had the funeral of a young boy, or as we say a loonie, who died before his time. the church was so full it was standing room only, and at the graveyard, it was standing room. All the young loons called a wake in the village and it was fine. The hymns were not the ones of my CofE childhood, but they were songs I found easy to sing.

Couldn't put these on the other thread, after mimi posted dylan it would have made me look deeply uncool.

nice haiku, mimi, made me smile.
Summer in Scotland
with a Bollywood soundtrack
that's a bit surreal
'rainbows and ripe raspberries' is a great line Mimis, is it a reference to the famously blue skinned Scots in the sun?

You wonder why you cry but you do.
Life, valley of tears
And no amount of haikus
will ever change that.
