ROTHESAY PAVILION

OK, here goes….

So we have to tip our hats to Rabbie Burns
And not just by feasting at his supper
So write a new poem or recite an old fav
Just don’t give up on your Pav ’cause you’re scupper’d

Now we know you can do better than this… so what are you waiting for?

Watch the videos below and get started. Scotland’s Makar, Jackie Kay’s poetry writing and reading tips video will inspire you and Madison’s favourite poem might make you smile.

Recite your poem on video or write it down and photograph it. Post it to your preferred social media platform and share it with us on Facebook. Tag us @RothesayPav and use the hashtag #PAVipoetrychallenge  We’ll help spread your finest words digitally, and at least one lucky PAV-i-Poet with get a signed book, notebook and pen from our patron, the Makar, Jackie Kay.
