Bagpipes
Bagpipes

Bagpipes make me cry,
indeed I know not why;
it’s not because I hate
their sound or cos it grates.

The truth is I just love
the drones that rise above,
their voice so wild and high
from glen unto the sky.

‘Tis British pride that drives
the teardrops from my eyes,
it’s pleasure in the sigh
and guilt since boys don’t cry.


Line count: 12
Rhymed couplets
For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 7
Prompt: A guilty pleasure.
