Premium MemberOn Kissing the Blarney Stone

"There is a stone there, that whoever kisses, OH! He never misses, to grow eloquent" Author not mentioned at link to Blarney Stone - Blarney Castle

I walk the path amid the trees 
Where footsteps even now are tread,
where ancient stones of Blarney please, 
and lips upon the stone have wed.
 
 Enchanting are the turrets

The famous Blarney Stone, some can't resist
When in Ireland, it's on tourist's checklist
But do not be deceived
If it's to be achieved
Some help from friends you might want to enlist

It's said, once kissed you'll have

Premium MemberBlarney Day

In Cork’s old heart
As poetic whispers play,
This district thrives
And tales hold sway.

Oh, Blarney, 
A place for words to craft and flow,
In the realm of stories, 
As hearts jump and glow.

Upon a lofty fortress 
Ancient and grand,
The rock of eloquence
A boon to the land.

Brushed by the daring
With audacious finesse,
Bestowing silver tongues
Through arresting address.

Mists caress the hills
And

Premium MemberSt Patrick's Day Blarney

On St. Patrick's Day, old boozehound Barney
Howls grand Gaelic airs at a pub in Killarney
Place a strong stout at his paw
And he'll howl Erin go braugh!
Yes, County Kerry folk are given to blarney!

Premium MemberReady To Kiss the Blarney Stone

heading to Blarney Castel to get me some....
Cork, Ireland, here I come!
To give the Blarney Stone a kiss,
means I will be a more persuasive miss

I can hardly contain my joy, with my new blips
new flattery will gently flow from my lips.
I have always wanted the gift of gab.
It’ll be the best day when I meet

Premium MemberYou Might Be Irish

If your favorite color is green and of the Emerald Isles you dream, you might be Irish. If when you kissed the Blarney Stone you knew at las you were at home, you might be Irish. If you believe in leprechauns and fairies and hidden treasures that lay buried, you might be Irish. If you

The Blarney Stone

The Blarney Stone
It was a bucket list I had to fill
I puckered up and felt the chill
The stone was cold upon my lips
The ledge was hard beneath my hips
Within my head a bell had rung
And words were forming on my tongue
Stories for the young and old
Simply waiting to be told
A scrap of paper and a

Blarney

Blarney 

Recall
With me
A time
Long passed...
Back when
Dragons'
Fame was
Ablaze ...
Knights would 
Slay them. 
Dwarves would
Cheat them. 

No one
Loved a 
Dragon. 

Gossip 
Spewed out
Far and
Swiftly;
Bounties 
On their
Heads were
Posted. 
So great 
Was the
Murder
And fear,
Dragons 
Took to
Hiding. 

They hid
In caves
And in
Castles. 
They hid
In the 
Mountains. 
They hid...
They hid...
They hid...
Still all
Were found---

Except 
For one. 

A gold
Dragon;
Fifty-
Four feet 
Long and 
Lawful.
He was

Premium MemberBlarney Castle

I walk the path amid the trees
Where footsteps of the past have tread
Where ancient stones of Blarney please,
Where lips upon the stone are wed.

My roots run deep with Irish blood
and County Cork's where my folk hale.
There Blarney meets where tourists flood
to kiss the stone below the rail.

Enchanting are the turrets here
  bedecked in autumn's vines

Premium MemberCarney's Blarney

I suppose the prez is proud of his mealy-mouthed spokesman Carney.

('Carnies' are carnival touts famous for spewing a heap of blarney!)

I think I'm quite well-versed and understand the English language well

But when I hear his party-line spin on things, I get perturbed as hell!

Carney keeps spouting "No worries!  Obamacare will not change a thing!"

That's

The Blarney Stone

a didactic poem

When eloquence leaves you a’wanting,
if verbal effluence you’re flaunting,
should your audience appear daunting,
kiss the Blarney Stone.

     I climbed the circular tower,
     reached the hundred ninety-third step, 
     and waded through unhurried queue.

     I trembled with anxiety,

The Ole Blarney Stone

If I were a stone what one would I be?

I'd want to be one, everyone wants to see!

     Like they would for a star,

     folks would come from afar

just to visit the Castle and "ME"!


At Blarney Castle I would not be alone.

As a matter of fact,
