Best Shamrock Poems

Roads rising up from Irish mists in merry jigs
To the flowing tenor song
Sung by the River Boyne born from Tara's Keep
As Patrick's paschal fire
Weaves truth from stones of blarney
And lucky charms of Erin's spring
Cloth hills in kilts of green clovers with four leaves
To the Kerry...

green grass
stern ground 
covered with red

Meadow of Evermore Rise,
Verdant greens of envy neath the skies,
Emerald breathes swirl wayward bound,
The scene repeats the olivine surround,
Spray of jade gladiolas emerges for eyes.

The cool rocky fence tinged moss lies,
Gathered sage on display, tossed flies,
Observed fronds of ferns, all around,
Meadow of Evermore Rise,

The mints...

Away across the sea I found a Shamrock, 
She was as pretty as the golden sun in Kent. 
I knew I should not touch this lovely Shamrock,
 But I knew her charm would hunt me if I went. 
I reached out and held the little...

Ireland's emblem is the harp, not many people know
But there is another, in the ground it does grow
A three leafed clover and tiny it may be
Was used by Saint Patrick to explain the trinity.

With its leaves he showed that three is one
The holy spirit, the...

Sweet shamrocks I love you, you are my favorite thing!
Evie collected them from an old fashioned swing
They filled up her lap and made her laugh go ting-a-ling.
St. Paddy’s day made her happy, causing her voice to sing....

A leaf of green
appendages 3
was Patrick's example
of the Trinity.

3 in 1 or 1 in 3
only one shamrock
would it be 3?

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
each to be adored.
All of the are present
but here only is one God.

The Son is not the Father
The Spirit not the Son
but...

Shamrock twins argued about this and that
They argued as to if a dog was a hog
Or a cat was a bat

On Halloween they were disagreeable to a masterful degree
They put spells on each other’s jack-o-lanterns
They put spiders in each other’s tea

Their favorite holiday was St....

it took one glance into your emerald eyes’ kindest beams

for the focus to change and enlighten darkness and pain

to guide my broken refraction towards your olive skin


I felt all verglas thawing vision and join chartreuse blinks

of the moment as light sea foam pastels sprouted lush...

babe
I stumbled home—
drenched in Guinness, soaked in guilt
the apartment crumbles, a shattered ruin
but you—your copper mane ablaze—
my wild Morrigan
a feral Celtic Faerie Queene
waging war against the wreckage.

You told me love was a lie
stitched by leprechauns
but your touch proves
there’s truth in everything
we break and rebuild.

Chased the...

The wearing of the green,
Shamrocks bringing you luck.

Days of delicious shamrock cookies,
Elves frolic about.

Bringing happiness to the kingdom,
Celebrating with delicious foods.

We remember the Irish,
The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

The friendships of elves and gnomes,
Everyone celebrates Saint Patrick;s Day,

Celebration with friends and...

I.

I strolled through a field of clovers 
Looking each one of them over 
When I found that fourth leaf 
All my joy turned to grief 
When my prize was snatched by a gopher.


II.
 
Last night as I left the bar 
A leprechaun stood by my...

Hooray for Saint Patrick’s Day
Hooray, hooray for Saint Patrick’s Day
Hubby took steps unaided today 
It may be only two
But at last a break through
A shamrock for luck, we’re on our way.

Find me a four-leaf clover she said
Find me a four-leaf clover

If you do 

You’ll get Lucky she said

I’ll name it a shamrock she said
