Notes About The Poem

Green


Going back over the past years of St. Patrick greenish fun, and
remembering how my Irish mother sure liked that happy shamrock day.
Everything she baked for us was emerald, like sugar cookies and puddings,
even a lime green cake with silly green decorations, drinks of questionable green.
Now, I like an Irish beer in a cold glass, and do a jig-  kiss me I'm Irish(but only half).

Hi Constance. well, if you feel the touch of silk on your cheek you shall know i have taken up on the kiss. This is a fun read, i would expect this from anyone with a part of the Irish in them. I just Loved the green that came through with your words. Simple, direct and fun Constance. Sometimes this is all you need.I Love it. This one goes into my faves Constance. I just Love the simplicity, a seven....Mike.
