Notes About The Poem

màireach=tomorrow. bákús =bakery

Irish Cream Cake-POTD

Irish Cream Cake

I stir and mix
rich ingredients in forty shades of green for kicks
inside our T-castle by the bay
shanty sea songs we shall play
he sings along, blare’n  A Pair of Brown Eyes and Wellerman

Celtic tea cake zesty
raspberry tea tickles my fancy
energy light and airy
a treat of nostalgic dairy
màireach brings bákús blessings!
 
Chocolate dallops and drizzles stuck
and four-leaf clovers for good luck
kindly do indulge
each bite pure decadence to divulge!

Oh, the rhythm and the flow, how lovely they do go. This is excellent writing; all the necessary pieces come together and give the world a tasty poem flavor. Also, it's an intelligent poem with authentic Irish words/references that I'd have to look up. If you already had them all in your knowledge hold, I might not play with you anymore, you're intimidating! Congratulations ON POTD for your delicious poem.
