Notes About The Poem

Written 17th March 2026 - St. Patrick's Day

Ireland of Green

Today’s the day to celebrate St. Patrick’s day, each in their own special way. * * Fine fields of green and cute leprechauns too That Ireland is a wondrous place, it's true The scenery, magical to the eye Visited, saw it, adored it did I. There's so much beauty of nature to seek The mountains, rivers and flora unique Seasons changeable, no rhythm or rhyme Mild winters, warm summers, simply sublime. Friendly folk, a best reception one gets The moment onto Irish streets one steps Irish eyes are smiling, one can't deny They gleam alike shining stars in the sky. Delightful pipe music, the river dance Singing that greatly enhances romance There one may sup the famous Guinness brew And a comforting bowl of Irish stew. One's never alone, when Ireland one roams Treading the streets of the Irish green zones The Emerald Isle has a welcome mat Once been one’s sure to desire going back. * * *.

I love this Beryl. My Mum was from Clydebank Scotland. I am the only one of my 5 siblings who has not been and while Ireland and Scotland may not be on the same isle, your ode certainly is a worthy visual. Thanks for sharing.

You sure make it sound nice - which I'm sure it is! I've never been there, but I've enjoyed the Guinness!

I so enjoyed this poem Beryl - our eldest son and his wife immigrated to Dublin IRELAND, THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND I can enforce with reality through their eyes how much they love it. He is an Opthalmologist specialist. A beautifully written poem. hugs and love, Jenny.
