A Bagpipe am I, My drones point to the sky! I am magic they say, since the wizard ‘spelled’ on me that day. He gave me the gift of immortal time, I could travel through centuries, T’was a gift. It was mine. But now here I lay, on this shelf in pawn, Pick me up I’ll play; I will show you magic till...

Bagpipes conveying the delight Of a country filled with insight Swinging their kilts in accord With their song of joy, so adored They color the world in green Appreciating the good queen Awakening a world to glean ~ Gaelic poetry and prose will sigh Through the echoes of a blue sky That reminisce with kilts so bright Laughter harmonizing despite The blessed stanzas and rhymes Poems alive with...

Amazing grace Let the bagpipes play While in blissful peace I lay Beneath rolls of morning mist Let bagpipes whine and wail At the portal of my heart Tugging at the gateway of my soul Releasing timeless ageless tears In supernal universal rhythm As generations of kindred spirits Swirl above the eerie misty morn AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on June 4, 2019 for contest YOUR...

Oh, it’s a joy to witness The St. Patrick’s Day Parade And watch the bands from every police And...
