Dudendance led a special writers workshop in Battlehill for the Huntly Writers Group. The following poems were written and recorded.

Ambush by Annie Lamb

if you want to hide in the woods
grow a green plush hat
a moss-green velvet all-weather hat
pull it down over your ears
come away
hide in the woods through the long summer’s day

if you want to hide in your hat
sport a fern cockade
tall and frilly and fastened with braid
break up your outline fine
hunker down
here in the woods at the back of the town

you might like to lie in wait
at the side of the track
where lovers and wild men rush up and back
heartily unaware
that you’re there
that the shadows are grown so long, so late.
