Thick Roots

Highland wind touched her roots

Thick hazel

Smells of danish

Sweet Gaelic dew

Reminiscent of ancestry

Name sharp as thorns

Accent flattened by foreign tongue

And reversed by a dram 

Of high grade whiskey.

Terrific little piece, full of 'many meanings', I think, and well crafted.
