Jean Murray Poet Limerick

Eire Mo Chroi

My country is Ireland so green.
I am it's poetry queen.
So much to admire,
my muse is on fire.
Inspired by beautiful scenes.

Today we celebrate St Pat.
I'll be wearing green for that.
Like it always would,
the craic will be good.
With my shillelagh and crooked hat.

Carolyn Devonshire March 23, 2019 at 8:41 PM But for some inconsistencies in syllable counts, this was a fun poem to read, Jean. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries and judging is always a challenge. Best wishes, Carolyn Jean Murray March 24, 2019 at 7:16 AM Good morning Carolyn and thank you for the placement. I use Howmanysyllables. com. However, knowing my track record, mistacks are made (as above) on a regular basis.

Jan Allison October 23, 2018 at 4:34 PM You sure are the Irish queen jean - we must meet up one day - limerick would be a great venue to meet - maybe we could do a open mic of our poems lol:-) hugs Jan xx Jean Murray October 23, 2018 at 4:37 PM Hi Jan. Sounds good to me!! Especially if I could procure a bottle of poitin!

David Smith September 17, 2018 at 1:36 AM I like this one. We need to be vigilant in keeping our green areas. Trees breath new life and hope. Just reading article of man who passed away here in NZ. he planted 7000 trees on family property. A lot of them Oaks - big number of rare Mexican Oaks that he grew from acorns (biggest acorns in in oak family - size of small apple). Best regards David in NZ Jean Murray September 17, 2018 at 1:40 AM I lived in Harewa for 8 months David. All those sheep grazing on all that green grass helped keep me from being homesick.

Viv Wigley September 9, 2018 at 1:37 AM Indeed it is, and so you are, Jean. Comhghairdeas! Viv x Jean Murray September 9, 2018 at 2:48 AM For some reason an Irish song comes to mind Viv. The words are "Says I says she, says she says I, says I says she says I" and repeat.Daddy used to sing it.
