The Stra'ven Road, nothin special - a haiku series

doon the Stra'ven Road

distant mountains high wi snow

as a take ma walk


the Stra'ven Road, long,

links me straight to Hamilton

where ma parents lived


I used to cycle

back home up the Stra'ven Road

knee's too knackered now


When the big freeze came

Aw the cars stuck, at angles

on the Stra'ven Road


when a die, the hearse

to Bent Cemet'ry will go

doon the Stra'ven Road


An' then Stra'ven Road

will never see me again

my travel days gone
