Andrea Dietrich Poet Kyrielle

A St Paddy's Day Kyrielle

St. Paddy’s Day has come. At dawn,
Wake up and put a smile on!
The birds are whistling cheerily
This day of green, a day for glee.

The time has come for conjuring
The start of something sweet. . . Like spring!
So be footloose and fancy free
This day of green, a day for glee.

Go out and find a verdant place
And let the sunshine touch your face.
Relax; enjoy the scenery
This day of green, a day for glee.

A child’s soul inside you thrives.
Unloose it, and when night arrives,
Be ready for a jubilee
This day of green, a day for glee!

Then bring your favorite friends along
To laugh and dance and sing a song.
You’ll wish that life could always be
This day of green, a day for glee!

Daver Austin March 19, 2013 at 9:08 AM On this day of splendid glee I saw a leprechaun pee on a tree. Sure 'n ba gory. Just a bit of my own Irish humor. You might know it - I am Scotch. Big fun and enjoyment. Love, daver

Isaiah Zerbst March 18, 2013 at 10:21 AM Enthralling! Very nice rhythm; I don't think I have seen that on a kyrielle before. I like the carefree lightness of the poem.

Jack Horne March 17, 2013 at 11:03 AM awesome write here, a sure winner : )

Duke Beaufort March 17, 2013 at 8:58 AM This is a happy celebration. Nice. Makes me think of leprechauns. I can read this as if it is a song.

Jeremy Martin March 16, 2013 at 6:32 AM What a jubilant and elevating poem, Andrea! And I agree with Debra, it makes you want to kick off your shoes and swing your lass (or lad) around by the arm. I'm doing well, been busy. Hope you're good. ~Jeremy

Debra Squyres March 16, 2013 at 12:02 AM this so makes me want to dance in the streets ..lol Not that I would...or would I ?? This is indeed a delightful poem !! Love !!!

Robert Pettit March 15, 2013 at 10:20 PM I can just picture John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in "The Quiet Man" as I read this delightful entry.

Timothy Hicks March 15, 2013 at 5:04 PM Very fitting for the green challenge and very easy to read... Doesn't Chicago or some place west in America they literally DYE the canal green in honor of St. Patty's Day? Thought that was interesting... Timothy Hicks March 15, 2013 at 5:05 PM I meant East*

Jack Ellison March 15, 2013 at 2:14 PM Everyone claims to be a little bit Irish on St. Paddy's Day! Why is that? Great write... should win! Hugs... xox
