Entrancing beauty.

Atlantic waves came crashing

against her raised and rugged breasts

I was haunted by her beauty

and in the manner of her dress.

 

 

Flowing was her simple skirts

of velvet emerald green

a patchwork of shades and colour

trimmed with golden at the seams.

 

 

Entranced was I for years

with her music and her songs

caught up in all her mystery

I was glad to dance along.

 

 

I followed her through the vallley's

down past the fairy glen and

there beneath the waterfall

I bathed with little men.

 

 

One night as she lay sleeping

draped in a diamond shawl

in the silence of her breathing

I heard my ancestors call.

 

 

"This is your humble home now son

back to your family's clan

and the beauty who has enchanted you

well son...her name it is Ireland."

    I like your poem very much. Thank you for sharing. I have relatives who have visited Ireland and I have unknown ancestors from there. I am not in a position to ever visit your country, so I will have to settle for visiting virtually.

    I love how you made a place come alive like that. I have always been fascinated by Ireland, being half irish I have never been to Ireland, although it remains a place I wish to visit one day.

    Ah, 'tis a fine write, Per chance some day I will see the Emerald Isle. As usual, imagery; rhythm and rhyme are just fine. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautifully Poignant...

    You have captured my heart with this awesome & sentimental poem, Lady Ireland!! I am also ready to move there myself, along with Angelflower!! If I knew I could find work and a good man to share the good times with, I'd be over there in a flash!! Thank you for bringing a bit of cheer to my day. Take care, and keep your pen flowing (please)!! Good luck in the contest!! Peace, love & hugs always, xx Cyn xx

    Sigh...This is enchantment of the Emerald Isle herself and its call gets stronger every day in my heart to visit her. C
