The Friday Poem on 3rd October 2025
'This poet evidently has a tender eye for the off-whack, and a keenness to take an experimental approach... to address emotively charged content. I appreciate his approach in this poem.'

Iain Crichton Smith
For Angus MacLeod
Headmaster, and Editor of Gaelic Poems
Today they laid him in the earthβs cold colour,
a man from Lewis with his seventy-five
years struck from his head. Teacher, scholar,
he had worked a true task when all alive,
building a school, elucidating texts.
The Gaelic shone quite clearly in his bones.
A casket filled with ashes had been mixed
with filtered sunlight and the small stones.
A useful life with pupils and with poems:
sufficient honours (his humour asked no more)
he takes his place in many minds and rooms.
Without their knowing it, his patient care
instructs far hands to turn a new lever,
a voice to speak in a mild-mannered tone.
The deeds we do reverberate forever.
Inveterate justice weighs the flesh and bone.
His best editions are some men and women
who scrutinise each action like a word.
The truest work is learning to be human
definitive texts the poorest can afford.
Teacher, scholar,
he had worked a true task when all aliveβ¦

Teachers
by Iain Crichton Smith
I have met old teachers in strange places.
Some have had strokes, some play the violin
in a quiet little heaven of their own.
And some are standing on the banks of Hades
with books about Julius Caesar in their hands,
English grammar, absolute ablative.
Sometimes a huge wind blows them away,
the leaves of autumn. Sometimes in the snow
wearing their gowns of chalk they are writing.
I have met the old teachers in strange places
and there are apples trembling in their hands.
I have met old teachers in strange places.
Some have had strokes, some play the violin
in a quiet little heaven of their ownβ¦
