Tanka Tuesday Challenge no 25....St Patricks Day...HAIKU and TANKA

FRIDAY WRITINGS.....POETS and STORYTELLERS UNITED


no not leprechauns

gorgeous gifted irish lads

dancing up a storm 



guess where they all went

straight down to the wide brown land

so thanks st patrick


we're sending them back 

they are homesick for ireland

it has been too long


the shamrock is a

good explanation for  the

holy trinity

irish tradition remains

alive well and feisty down here

 

 

 

lovely irish gals

yep- up to shenanigans

having a good time


 


he shuffles about

practising irish dancing

in size 13 shoes

likes a guinness makes good cheer

and kisses the blarney stone




 

sang this song at school

sad...brings a tear to my eye 

a long time ago

more than half a century

 has passed-  where does the time go

  5. Love the dance! And the bits of lore weaved into your poetry. I always like seeing how old traditions survive in the new.
