Covered In Clovers

Covered in Clovers



With a green pen I scratch out this holiday cheer,
  as I chug down another pint of Guinness Green Beer.

    Reminiscing with compatriots from our ancestors country of old,
      the unconquerable island surrounded by waters of aquamarine cold.

        All our blarney and boisterousness of our Irish Ancestors comes out,
          no matter what kind or how much beer is consumed pale ale or stout.

            Pretending like we we're in a pub in lovely downtown Dublin, Ireland,
              acting up like the fools, dontcha wanna know these crazy men?

                There's no place on earth as beautiful for I've searched the world over,
                  Not one place can compare to this island meadow all covered in clovers.

I love your poem that celebrates Ireland. Even our green here in the Hawaiian islands can't compare to the green of Ireland. My ancestors are from there too. Congratulations on your top placement Brian! ; )

I agree. We allow no billboards or unsightly signs to be put up and we even have flowers on the side of the freeway and some on the airport runway on the Big Island of Hawaii. Most people don't litter, so it looks nice. Happy Easter! ; )

Quite Irish, Brian. Cheers! *clinks the Guinness* ... really enjoyed that aquamarine cold. My nephews and nieces actually visited Ireland for a month ... kissing the blarney stone, celebrating Patty's Day, etc., ... even saw a tombstone that was a thousands year old! Crazy, right? You sure do like doing that staircase pattern ... it's almost like your signature. Lol ...

Yah I have a lot of family that still lives over there in "The Old Country" as they call it! I am quite fond of our wee little island in the sea, I am! And the staircase thing just stands out but most of my poems are not done that way, but maybe should be, I could use a signature
