I married a leprachaun

 

My irish tale begins...

with laughter and a grin,

for how was I to know,

"heavens almighty,

I married a leprachaun."

 

'Tis true..every word,

and gleaming pot of gold,

shone in his heart

and sole.

 

When I reflect,

perhaps I ...should.. have.. known

for not a rose he laid upon my door,

but..his boots with a simple note.

 

Dearest Woman of my dreams,

Captured, I am by you,

amidst the treasures of God,

and our tender homeland.

I vow to walk upon this earth

barefoot until you give to me

your love and gentle heart.

May I not die a blistered,

hope-less man.

Love,

Mr. Lee Peter Chaun.

My love, a rainbow, I lay upon your throne.

 

 

 

 


    Heavens almighty, I married a leprachaun!

contest prompt: tell me an irish story, keep it under 50 lines.

if you knew my hubbs, you'd be laughing...

and damn...that man's words, always melt my heart.

    Gotta say rainbows end me friend. This was great in all. Maybe I should have read this a hundred years ago, maybe me and my true love would still be together. A leprechauns gold is worth its weight you have shown.

    I loved every word of it. It was very joyful and made me smile. I grow clovers for fun and the first four leaf will be for you.

    hi kathleen, a very amusing and unusual write, georgie recommended your poetry so i thought i should read some and comment on them, not to mention i've also read a few over her shoulder while she has been commenting. i hope you don't mind me adding you to my favourites.
