Aberdeen Voices

(A Fictional History of Aberdeen in haiku-Part 1)

Voice of the fire

Sitting around it plan forward

Shall we build a city?

The Denburn Valley

The silvery burn flows through it

Corvids caw a greeting.

We enter the Green

Busy, thriving marketplace

The ‘cradle’ of the city?

We will build upwards

A granite mile called Union

A street built on arches.
