Leeming's work has attracted recognition on both sides of the Atlantic as well as in Japan, the original home of the Haiku form. His poetry in the Scots tongue is particularly noteworthy. An example:
| A whaup's wheeple lane amang the hills - bairnheid mindins | A curlew's cry lonely in the hills - memories of childhood |
Derrick McClure of Aberdeen University has said of these poems: 'They show, triumphantly, that Scots can be the medium for highly successful efforts in this genre. Precisely and clearly-focused images, subtle uses of sound or rhythmic effects: all these appear in abundance.'
James Kirkup, the eminent Haiku authority, recommends: 'Read these haiku aloud to savour their beauty, the strangeness of their eloquence. They cast a real spell.'
Bruce Leeming's Edinburgh Book Festival lecture is lucid and enlightening.
