A Green Isle

The dark green of her eyes matches An island far away That lush green isle known as Ireland A place to see one day There is an arched shrub lined pathway A gate there opens wide So lush and green the passage there It beckons come abide Through a gate there's a lighthouse white A beacon that flashes A light to guide through darkest night In the morn refreshes Sponsor: Isaiah Zerbst Contest: Irish Poems Written from viewing photographs taken of Ireland The form is a type of Poulter's Measure 8,6,8,6 _the six syllable lines rhyme

Ireland is a poet's paradise Sara and I do hope you get to visit one day. My last trip I drove over 900 miles around the isle with my aunt and we had so much fun getting lost! We found the factory where they make toy soldiers out of pewter and ship them all over the world, including England. It was out in the boonies and we were so happy we got lost and found it! I bought a chess set made out of pewter. It is one of my fondest memories of our trip. Congratulations on your win!
