I am the daughter of Woody Woodburn and Kathleen Munro and I dedicate this book to them both as a thank you for bringing me into this world and supporting me through the years, sadly my father Woody real name Rodrick passed away in 2011. My mother Kathy is a great support for me and without her I wouldn’t know the encouragement she regularly gives me.
I dedicate this book to both my parents and thank them for their love.

Foreword
In this book you will find a collection of my poetry written over a lifetime up until now. I’m currently 39 and some of these poem’s date back to my teenage years; some are more recent.
I’m from a small town in the highlands of Scotland called Tain where I lived until I was 19 before moving to Glasgow, chasing city life and a bright future. I’ve enjoyed poetry and written poetry all my years, having found the passion when I was in primary school and poetry is something I’ve never put down. In my early 20’s I wrote a lot of poetry in private, never sharing with people other than family members and annoying my friends with them, regularly asking, “do you want to hear another poem?” I lived in Glasgow up until I was 26, enjoying the party lifestyle that Glasgow had to offer. I then moved to Barcelona and got involved with many things, one being the Barcelona Poetry Workshop where I attended weekly poetry meetings and jointly released a group anthology, Together and Apart my first publication. It was in Barcelona where my confidence for poetry grew. I returned to Glasgow four years later I was ready to start attending poetry events and immersed myself in the Glasgow poetry scene, where I found Tell It Slant poetry bookshop and where I organised and hosted my own monthly events as part of Tell It Slant poetry bookshop, Express Yourself. I then started my own poetry radio show with Sunny Govan Radio and called the radio show Express Yourself too.
The poems in this book are inspired by life, spirituality and fun and family. I enjoy making something from simple everyday things and creating poetry.
Me
Am a Heilan lass,
Born an bred,
Just like the coo,
A Heilan bairn of the toon of Tain.
A tattie lover and planter,
Fae the fields.
My ma n da they taught me weel,
Thaymselves fae Glesga dwellings.
They didnae ken their daughter widnae blether wae the same Glesga tunin.
I wis born a Heilan lass,
Played the bagpipes in class.
Jumped the hay bales and dry grass.
Kin talk like a teuchter if asked.
Albeit a bit mare Glesga as time passed.
A moved tae the city in my later teens,
Fur city life I wis keen,
The breght lights and aww the dancin,
Fancied my chancin so’s a did,
Took masel a gallivantin.
But through aw my years,
Only wan passion sincere
Wis my poetry n ma music,
which av awis held dear.
In aw tongues in which we speak,
Gaelic, Doric, Scots, slang fae the street,
Wheriver ye be,
Let yer tongue gang free,
And lang live Scots leid ae poetry.
With and Without
Like without liking anything,
care without caring.
love without care,
and care without love,
and like without like.
sex without emotion,
tenderness without touch,
lick without saliva,
gentle but rough.
Joy without tears,
and tears without joy,
heart without breaking,
heart not a toy.
Smile without interest,
tears without tears,
laughter at wrong moments,
fears without fear.
Strong without strength,
empty when full,
scared when the light is on,
and dark under the moon.
Warmth when it’s toasty,
cheese toasty in bed,
mind games with the mindless,
stressful when restful.
Weak at the knees,
double jointed and bendy,
mobile home built for a Wendy.
He & She
Mr & Mrs,
husband & Wife,
this is my spouse,
this is my trouble and strife.
She wears the trousers,
he wears the marigolds,
she never does anything,
he does what he’s told.
He keeps her stable,
she drives him wild,
he helps her financially,
