Green is not my favorite colour but i wear it with pride
To remember Saint Patrick for his beliefs he died
One day a year is not to much to ask for a we man
who did so much for our past.
He saved many souls in Ireland north and south
By spreading the gospel by word of mouth
They say he did many great things it was before my time
But i have heard all the story's and all the little rhymes
They say he controls the weather at this time of the year
And that he chased all the snakes away with out any fear
He traveled all through Ireland given good advice
Feeding all the hungry families and all there little mites.
Now the shamrock is meant to be a lucky thing
The great kings of Ireland let him be after he
Showed them the shamrock that told them about the
trinity i guess its not to much to ask to wear a bit
of green were it can be seen for St Patrick and the past.

Excellent poem. My favorite color is yellow and purple. Green is pretty as well.

Nice work something I had never know. A lucky leprecaun or something to the sort is all I was taught!
Shame huh!

I know that this sounds weird but St. Patricks day is actually my favorite holiday. Most people have Christmas or Thanksgiving but not me, I love the green and plus I'm part Irish. Great write.

This is nice. There are a few errors: in the third line, we instead of wee. And, a few places where punctuation would have helped. I would urge you the next time to read the rules, though.
Thank you for sharing.
