It’s poet’s choice of words this week so I thought I’d share with you some of my photographs of Edinburgh – a city I love so much – and my first attempts at Shadorma poetry…
It calls me
This Scottish City
Beautiful
Lights twinkle
Edinburgh’s dark shadows
Perfect time and place
Your buildings
Adorned like parcels
Pink in blue
They twinkle
My home from home forever
The best gift of all
I see you
Bright castle hiding
Beyond trees
Magic night
Such a blue sky highlights you.
Nestled on a hill
Me and mum
Posing together
Two gals out
Shopping trip
But much more – mother daughter
Friends, always best friends.

Ah, you can see I’m home-sick already! Missing my mum and dad and Edinburgh. Sigh.
Do you have a home from home that calls to you too?

Thank you! I am so home-sick for Edinburgh… ugh..
I do love these Shadorma especially the one about you and your Mum 💜💜
Thank you Willow. Yes I’m missing her lots. We get on so well but don’t see her, dad and my brother as much as I’d like to.
That’s the trouble these days family is no longer next door 💜
