Premium Member Tis Shamrock Vale

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 swim freely, breeze back tries,
A row of pines stands proud, trophy prize,
Laurel newborns crawl the hilly ground,
Chartreuse treats, all roaring to be found,
Harlequin limes anoint, trickled tea ties,
Meadow of Evermore Rise.

Premium Member Shamrock and Pink Raspberry

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 ferns

presented sage mint and lime moss to the harlequin waiting 

to be brushed by honeydew colour and cinnamon fragrance


my own wilted flowers struggled at first to blossom again

hibiscus cranberry and feverish scarlet had lain abandoned

hastened by drought colour blindness and glanced disrepair


the Little Prince at the time merely a frog awaiting the kiss

looked at the broken thorns presiding over crimson petals

of vulnerable hope shattered kindness lost evergreen shoots


I love you said the candy apple and plumed with the parakeet

Premium Member Butterfly On a Rock

In my garden sits a large granite rock,
flecked with traces of quartz, mica, and spar.
A juggernaut, juxtaposed with shamrock,
and flowers of yellow and cinnabar.

Time and weather exposed its hidden faults,
riffled with colors of every hue.
And butterflies visit it for its salts;
today, I spied one of indigo blue.

It stood poised on that rock, with folded wing,
edged in gold filigree fit for a king.

Shadows lengthen across the garden floor,
as cooling breezes sweep the quiet air.
And the blue butterfly took flight once more,
leaving the silent giant waiting there.

Premium Member Land of Killarney

Sun is declining, beneath a blue Irish sea
With a fire to warm me' bones, in a cottage by the bay
And the coals to bake me scones, 
Where the bracken turns so reddin'
Like a wildfire on the mountain
And wee nanny goats on rocky hillsides, are too many for the countin'

Heather waves in summer breezes...
And harshness bringin' winter's season
Thar' be waving sails upon the blue
And leafy shamrocks on the green 
Where the rugged shores, and seagulls cry, and a sunset captures you

Granite stones, and bogs of grass, water gleams like shining glass
Friendly folks bearin' ruddy cheeks, and a colleen, fair thee lass
We'll tip our mug at village pub, and make a toast to St. Patty's kin
Let me sink me' eyes  upon the scene of Irish rugged land 
Upon the skies, upon the streams, where druid legends live
Upon the land...home of the clan, where me many roots began

Where the ole' pale moon at nightfall, scatters memories a'glowing
Of fair roses of Tralee, over garden gate, a growin' 
Charming valleys, greener hillsides, fill thee heart of all 'me clan
Pick ye' a shamrock.... look for gold, shake yer' hands with leprechauns
Kiss ye' a Blarney .....Come to Killarny, come to all that's home to me
Where names of O'Reily, or McDougal where so many Mac' roots began

   with a layer ring ga Erin
which byte size (key) ah man able troll

   (which with assistance of Crispr)
   i.e., a more discerning Quaker can pin

maybe treasure undetected
   cuz ova technical,

   whar hike can hitch

Premium Member Song For St Patrick 2022

“Song for St Patrick 2022”

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

If you do 

You’ll get Lucky she said
You’ll get Lucky 

I’ll name it a shamrock she said
I’ll name it a shamrock

Find me a Leprechaun she said
Find me a Leprechaun

If you do

I’ll put him in a clasp and 
Press him to my breast

I am very lonely and 
Will love him very deeply

Find me a Leprechaun she said
Find me a Leprechaun 

Please wear green today she said
Please wear green

If you do 

I’ll be your queen
And never make a scene

I can get quite mean
If you don’t wear green

Please wear green today she said
Please wear green

Let’s drink some green today she said
Let’s drink some green

If you do 

You’ll find much merriment in the brew
It will thrill you through and through

I’ll drive you home in a cab
When you no longer can stand

Let’s drink some green today she said 
Let’s drink some green

Sing me a song she said
Sing me a song

Make it happy and gay
When foreplay is the game

If you do

I’ll sing along with you
And kiss you on the cheek

Sing me a song she said
Sing me a song

Come dance with me she said
Come dance with me

If you do

I’ll hold you tight
With all my might
And won’t let go 
Until the morning light

Come dance with me she said
Come dance with me

Pinch me she said
Pinch me

If you do 

There is no offence
Unless you pinch my behind
That would be mighty unkind

Pinch me she said
Pinch me

I want to know if it was you or me
Or the Leprechaun clasped to my breast
Who got lucky Today 

Happy St. Patrick ’s Day

Premium Member The Mockingbird

I recognize a tune from album of your songs
And listen intently to impressionist sounds
As you hop scotch from branch to branch
Like a child all excited, frolicking in playground
Peeking from behind shamrock green leaves
Singing of love in blossoms of dogwood tree,

As you tease a female, flapping your round wings
Showing off white patches, revealing breasts
Pointing curved beak to articulate a message
In verses of romance, courting your soul mate
Inviting her to celebrate the visions of spring.

A prolific singer, you mimic songs of blue jays,
Woof-woof of dogs, and croaks of hiding frogs,
Wailing screams of sirens on ambulance moving fast
And hasty beeping shrills of my alarm clock;
Reserving your very best for ardent mating calls
Choreographing dance-moves fit for wedding halls

As you seduce a female on youthful virgin date,

Aspiring to one more voice, one more etiquette
Adding to repertoire another song of desires 
Pursuing next newness, next chase to happiness.

Premium Member Grape Harvest

The chartreuse pearls hung on the pregnant vine
as whispered jade of leaves in autumn breeze.
The necklaces of trellis did entwine
like clefs of absinthe notes in verdant keys.

Limes envied grapes reflecting fervent sun,
bright clusters for musicians then to splay
in shamrock fields with fables to be spun
of emeralds and pears in harvest play.

Cerulean spread 'cross effulgent sky
when came the time for plucking of the harp.
Lithe fingers did each picker then apply
and place with grace refrains upon the tarp.

In peridot the countryside rejoiced
while to reprise fruition gave a voice.

Premium Member Her Love Longs To Hear Her

You who dwell in the gardens
with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!

Song of Songs 8:13 NIV

Young love, young love.
Her love longs to hear her -
her chirping in the garden,
the peak of harp-pluck
and see the flight
of purest shamrock eyes.

Her love’s jealous for
a whispering of cherubic lips.
*A find, this dove, this only daughter,
the favorite of the one who bore her.*
Her young prince, in ivory tower,  thinks of her
from sunrise to sunset and forever
in his dreams.

She keeps a company of friends,
who delight in her white teeth,
her minty breath, her measured words.
They’re acquainted with
her grace, the smooth taste
of time and space…for him, oblivion.

Her love misses out, on chipper words,
so lovely-shaped, in rainbow-afternoons.
He longs for her all the time
but though she is his,
not all her time
is his.
