Burns Suppers are celebrated every year on the anniversary of Burns’s birth.
The poems can be satirical but also full of sentiment; they deal with love and lust (Burns being well versed in these), human foibles and hypocrisies; they show a deep knowledge of and love of the natural world (especially horses, dogs, mice and lice); they can be funny and moving by turns, and even politically subversive.
I love playing the guitar and writing my own music.
The wolverine will thrive in winter
Along watery and rootless coasts.

I’ll cook up something grand and then,
I’ll add some sugar right from my heart,
To sweeten it so it’s not to tart.

I have 12 Tattoos on my arms
all based on Biblical Scriptures which I call my sermon notes!
A koala was there,
While a wombat combed the hair,
... This seemed to free him in some way and the next few years became a period of high creative energy, producing poems such as ‘To a Mouse’. I have Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy,
and Macular Degeneration, so I am going blind rapidly.
Robert Edgar Burns Popular Poems
His father died in 1784, worn out by the struggle to keep farm after farm going, leaving Burns as head of the family. And apart from his narrative verse masterpiece ‘Tam o’ Shanter’ (1788), he devoted the rest of his life to Scottish song, contributing to two main collections, the Scots Musical Museum and A Select Collection of Scotish Airs.
