Douglas Scotney Poems

Well-kenned in Scotland
is that pipes on bagpipes are called drones.

With sound cause, 'drone'
...

$28 a kilo are limes
in the shop.
I'm givin' them away here,
where,
...

Indoobitabubbly attribootabubble,
or that and attribewtabubble,
or indewbitabubbly attribootabubble,
or that and attribewtabubble.
...

Did the French Revolutionary newspaper,
Le Thermomètre du Jour,
The Thermometer of the Day,
measure the heat in heads
...

There is an eminence amongst our hills.
There is a deep quiet in its height.
A man I love of lofty mind
Shares with that mount its quiet.
...

Confused though I am
as to which came before,
which second,
the door or the poor,
...

Start with one nut on top of your cookie
and a picture of it on the pak.
Add one more
and 'NOW WITH 2 NUTS',
...

Here lies Bri
Composting in this place.
Died with agility.
A knife in his hand
...

confused into belief,
from belief then teased away,
told there's waste in love,
knowledge lies in all,
...

One with a serious turn of mind
will more call coincidence fate
than one with a flippant revolution.
...
