Premium MemberFight for the leprechaun’s love


The way it happened
I had to fight for the leprechaun’s love every day.
If it wasn’t loved it would name call. 
So had to be on alert all time.
I could see him corner of my eye just watching me.
If it fell out with me it would shout. 
It had money and was giving me none.
Just to

Leprechaun Rules

Freckles decorated him from end to end.    
In Ireland, there was no drinking after 10:00 pm

An imp plied Guinness to a Banshee trick
The wraith in anger gave him chase right quick,
After her gold he did dig
The Leprechaun danced a jig
But lost her rich hoard in a Limerick.

Premium MemberEscape of the Leprechaun

When a leprechaun tightly I caught,
I was hoping for gold in a pot.
But that trickster escaped.
At my hands I just gaped.
His wee britches were all that I got.

Premium MemberLimerick for a Leprechaun

Leprechaun, you have it wrong
You need to sing the barmaid’s song
Bawdy and fun
Raunchy on the run
Words just shy of a dirty bong

Leprechaun, come sit with me
Right here, on my broken knee
I will give you a pinch
Feeling each little inch
You will like it, you will see.

Premium MemberLeprechaun Fine Print

A leprechaun, to me, proposed, 
at my service, to be disposed.  
He'd one more thing to say
as he jetted away.
I must catch him first, he disclosed.

Harsh time flew and I've gotten so old,
suffering from treacheries untold, 
but when I get my hands on
that mischievous leprechaun, 
at long last, I'll have my pot of gold.

Premium MemberPinch Me Collab



Irish tales of what a leprechaun gives away
If you don’t wear green on St Paddy’s Day 
a painful pinch
Like Suisse’s Grinch,
a green tie or  vest so invisible you’ll stay

Premium MemberMy Feral Celtic Faerie Queene

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 wail of a banshee tonight
hoping to drown the shame
gulped it

The Leprechauns’ Dance

Beneath the emerald hills they hide,
Where shadows stretch and secrets bide,
The leprechauns with hats so green,
Dance where only dreams are seen.

They laugh and twirl in moonlit glow,
Their golden coins they softly throw.
A wink, a jig, a merry sound,
A hidden treasure underground.

With mischief in their sparkling eyes,
They hide their wealth where magic lies.
A rainbow leads, but

Premium MemberMeeting the Leprechaun

I am a merry me frisky fey a tiny man bragged to me
Please join me at my explosive enjoyable revelry
A jollity in his overzealous ambiance was brighter than I had ever seen
Magical merriment and meshugga craziness was about to convene

Are you a leprechaun? I asked the adorable trickster, right away
Name’s McCindlesticks and I’m Celtic Irish,

LEPRECHAUN II

Upon walking I saw
The cutest lil thing
A dressed-up leprechaun
Carrying a shillelagh stick
With a long pipe in his mouth
And circles coming from his ears
It looked like rings of fire
Oh dear, oh dear, it was
Coming from his extra-long beard
As he strutted along, not a care
In the world, he starts to spin as
He twirls and twirls, unleashing
A strange

And said, will you be mine, my dear

So, I snatched it up and disappeared

Rascal the rapscallion was a slyboots rogue
he fancied himself a pixie, spoke Irish brogue
we suspected he was a leprechaun hiding gold
he lived in Skeezicks Forest, Celtic land of old

Premium MemberLeprechaun Leaping

Leprechaun leaping is against the law, but it was okay in days of old
When a leprechaun could increase his life saving, by leaping his gold.
The magic that went into this effort is a secret unknown by most.
My cousin secretly does it, but we are not allowed to mention this or boast.
