Short Shamrocks Poems

Wearing of the green
For sure it’s St. Patrick’s Day
Leprechauns, shamrocks...

They're pagans on ice with wood sticks
And maximum pain each inflicts
But Saint Patrick knows
God prefers trios
Like three-leaf shamrocks and hat tricks...

Let’s dress up in green! It’s a cinch!
You don’t have to cover each inch.
We’ll dance on green hillocks
among all the shamrocks!
Come on or I’m going to pinch!

A leprechaun looking for gold
'neath the shimmering shamrocks of olde
      (with the luck of a Gael)
      found ten bottles of ale
somewhat green as if covered with mould.

Close your legs milady, the flies are buzzin' round
The whiff of Irish shamrocks and bananas abound
Quite a combo I say
A parts raiser if I may
Sorry milady, my restraints have unwound...

GOOD LUCK, SAM

Shamrocks with green eggs and ham.
Resistance from Sam I Am.
If you offer him gold,
he won’t see the mold.
Leprechauns roar at the sham.

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....

gorgeous emerald trumps shamrocks and leaves
starting out as beryl, dull tan rock
if you keep it a million years
you'd really have something
to make into a ring
or pretty pendant
sweet emerald
May birthday
verdant
gem...

Cottontail
small, fragile, frail
hind quarters strong and jumping
little rabbit foot thumping
run quick, run fast
while showers and skies are overcast
along the green, shamrocks and clover
just another hurdle to jump over....

There was an old man who marched in Belfast,
wearing shamrocks danced to emerald past.
        On St. Patrick’s fancy day
        in ceilithe he dined by bay,
saw the snakes slither slow, turning green fast.

Interval over,the shamrocks,had their say
Two tries blew the reds away-
Fear of winning led to mistakes
Until O'Gara's drop goal
Lifted every Irish soul

Luck of a shamrock, could it be true
  Magical plant, one day just grew
       Or lies told to me and you
        Tell me your point of view
            Fact or myth askew
               A shamrocks luck
                     I do pray
                       To be
                        True...

It is not St. Paddy's day!” the eight-year-old informed me.
He was the sixth person to say that to me today.
“I never said it was,” I agreed.
I am wearing a favorite green shamrock pin.
It amazes me that children have limited their thinking.
Believing we can only wear shamrocks on St. Paddys day.
Sad really....

shamrocks 
bow

    in silence 
    — sorrow 

cranberry
       tears 
       pool together 

a rolling stone
stops in London 

    at forty-sixth, 
    and heaven — 

as the radio 

    waves, 
    stand still 


Rest in peace, Dolores O'Riordan.

It isn’t a leap year 
So this is the end;
The month now has drawn to a close.
The winter has started
Its winding-down time
Depending on how the wind blows.

Tomorrow the calendar
Gets a new page
Since this one has used up its dates.
Now Lincoln and Washington
Get to relax;
The month filled with shamrocks awaits....

A bouquet of shamrocks glisten,
they call magick;
Under a rainbow they sprout high;
This sky? Classic;

Golden sunshine adds to the glow,
What a vision;
Leprechaun’s pot hidden details,
mischief hails fun;

You think it’s found so you give chase,
rushing a field;
Met with just grass and a chuckle,
coin haul concealed....

Green grass crunching under his toes,
Green peas steaming into his nose,
Green shamrocks flowering his lawn,
Green beer chugging making him yawn,
Green tea sipping all morning ,hoping to cure.
Green money flowing foolishly to promises un pure.
Greenbacks so beautiful paying unjust deeds
Green turning into greener days of greed....

There was an old man in Belfast
Wearing shamrocks marched to the past
On St. Patrick’s day
Feasted by the bay
Seeing snakes slither turned green fast.

Be my Irish rose today
In my heart where shamrocks play
Where St. Patrick used to roam
Come with me, you have a home
Walk with me where life's serene
Is a song of Irish green
Down beside the Irish shore
Dwell with me at Heaven's door
Drink a toast to Irish bliss
Where the leprechauns may kiss
Dance and shout, the world's at play
On this great St. Patrick's day...

Luckleaf the leprechaun loves the spring
flowers and birds and the songs they sing
for gold and rainbows
green shamrocks you know
and all the mischief Luckleaf will bring

for Luckleaf has always been quite bold
no you shant get yer hands on his gold
try hard as you might
you wont win that fight
his gold is only for he to hold

A happy day when we wear green-
In honor of March Seventeen!
On Saint Patrick's Day
We'll hip-hip-hooray
From morning till night- and between!

We hold our green shamrocks up high-
Applaud as bagpipers pass by!
Join in with the fun
Top off when we're done
with Guinness Stout beer, shepherd's pie!

Sounds of spring
Appreciated and everywhere
Islands of green
New shamrocks wishing us good luck
Tea so delicious with croissants

Patrick a favoured name
Always a march holiday
Time so precious
Real four leaf clovers
Isles of the british
Crumpets so delectable
King and queen so regal

Daylight savings
Attitude so cheerful
You know when St. Patrick's Day is here

The celebration begins,
The wearing of the green
The beautiful country of Ireland,
Home to great poets,
Miles of countryside and traditional houses,
Shamrocks and leprechauns,
The magic begins,
The luck at the end of the rainbow,
A lovely cup of tea or coffee,
Delicious home baked cookies,
A dinner with friends,
An evening of song with an Irish singer,
The charm of St. Patrick's Day.

Shamrocks 
Covered in green
Irish dances what scene
Little men with black hats 
Rolling around laughing on their backs 
“Erin go brah” to you I say 
No one can do it like the Irish this day
A mug of green beer 
For good times and cheer 
And Fiddle here 
A fiddle there 
Irish step dancing everywhere 
A day of remembering culture and prayer 
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to you my dear
A day that Ireland came clear  
Lucky of the Irish
to all that share....

Green is your color with Leprechauns, Shamrocks and gold filled pots.
Favorite meal is corn beef and cooked cabbage on plate as food.
Charming and fanciful tales or elf stories for tinny tots.
Jokes and such make hours fun - they put us into a happy mood.
Humor's a blessing in life, for that we have much gratitude.
Time is spring, cold wind can blow hard yet giving the days an edge.
Snow can still be on the ground, denizens may have to use a sledge....
