Ireland

The Slea Head Drive in Dingle Hugs the lushest land I’ve seen. It reaffirms the reason Why the Irish worship green. I’ve only been to Ireland once But that was just a start, For scenic beauty such as that Imprinted on my heart. The greenest hillsides anywhere, A’polka-dot with sheep, Provided me with memories My brain will never sweep. I loved the Irish people And the landscape near the coast, But raising up my Guinness Was the part I loved the most! for the "Irish Poems" contest by Isaiah Zerbst

Thank you for entering my contest, Ilene. Congratulations on your win! You have done a great job with this poem. The rhyme and meter, the subject matter. It has a lilting rhythm to it, accompanied by great descriptions of the Irish countryside.

My mom loved Ireland but she never went. And now she lives in lush green feilds I know are heaven sent. So have a pint to honor those. Who's cheeks were fulsh with Guiness rose.

I've heard 'lush' is THE word to describe the beauty of the Irish countryside. However many shades of green there are, Ireland has to have 'em all! Wonderful flow and rhyming, as usual! and you HAD to mention the Guinness!! Best wishes, Keith
