Come have a cup of Irish coffee,
well top of the morning to you.
Made with magical coffee beans,
the leprechauns mix up this brew.
The wee ones are hidden away,
they live in the forest so deep.
All day long just brewing coffee,
getting stronger letting it steep.
To find them is not very easy,
you must follow any rainbow.
There for only a brief moment,
then into the Forrest you go.
Follow the meandering stream,
till it comes to a sharp bend.
A mile left then a mile right,
brings you to the rainbow end.
There you shall find a treasure,
no, there is no gold in the pot.
It is filled with a magical brew,
Irish coffee that is piping hot.
The wee ones welcome you,
Please come and sit awhile.
relax with a cup of coffee,
you journeyed many a mile.
They say drink up and enjoy,
the coffee is a magical brew.
For it only takes one little sip,
you'll become a leprechaun too.
So better beware of Irish coffee,
unless you don't mind being small.
If you believe, I've another tale,
Irish whiskey makes you grow tall.

This is a great piece. The whimsical story, the flowing rhythm and unforced rhyming. Throw in a touch of humor, a large dose of creativity, a fun picture on top and coffee and I'm surprised it only netted a bronze. I imagine it will garner more trophies going forward. Great write!!

Wonderful write sandy, this is such a cute write, how disapointed some will be when they hit that rainbows end and find a pot of hot coffee instead of the gold.

As for Irish coffee, it is WAYYYY to strong for my tastes. But I loved the idea of a pot full of coffee at the end of the rainbow! This poem was so well written! Thanks for entering my contest!

I need some Irish Whiskey as a chaser for the Irish coffee. I have been seeing some leprechauns lately. This made me chuckle. Thank you Sandy.

What a delightful read
Having Irish blood I'm sitting back giggling totally agreeing that there isn't gold in the pot but a good cup of brew
Not only do I adore this write, I love the background and picture; They all compliment each other to make this write more enjoyable
I wish you the best of luck in the contest
Stay safe
Much love
