Emerald Sands 





Erin Isle please comfort me
With Gaelic grace divine
My spirit verse is crying out
And Irish eyes won't shine

Why can't I walk your Emerald sands
I've heard no Banshee cry?
And my Shamrock's good as gold
This luck you can't deny

My Celtic voice will never die
My heritage is strong
So do not sing a dirge for me
For I'll deny this song

My Ireland for you I'll fight
Perhaps a little more
Just because within my sights
I see your Emerald shore

Beautiful Poem, Pollyanna. I especially like this because I'm Irish, but never been to Ireland :(. It would be so cool to go there.

On the other hand, here's a little Irish jig

"I drank with a man and he called my wife fat/so I knocked him down and shat in his hat."

Funny, huh?

It's okay, you can laugh.

I am.

Great Poem, by the way!

That was a beautifully descripted poem. I can feel the longing that the one in the story has for Ireland, and it makes me want to visit there. I'm not sure if I'm Irish or not. Good story anyway!

Loved it.

Good patriotism. Ireland is a beautiful, yet rugged country. Your poetic technique and structuring were good. I like how you used italics, that gave off a dreamy kind of feeling as I read the words. Good job.

This was a beautifully written poem. I have always loved the Irish scenery and landscapes. They are oh so beautiful. I liked how you brought that feeling out. It was wonderfully done and left me with a cool feeling.
