Fire Is Not the Only Element


by Morna Burdon

Morna Burdon is back, this time with a collection of self-penned poems full of humanity, compassion and womanhood, linked together with real-life stories and one or two new and unusual songs!

From falling in and out of love to celebrating pernicketiness; from pithy one-liners to messages on prison walls; from a homeless stranger proffering an unaware gift, to gentle lullabies and girls in white starched collars. And then there’s the beautiful game…..

Morna’s subject matter is our lives – our foibles, foul-ups and frailties. Delivered in Scots cos she cannie help it and in English because she is bilingual.
