Land of Green
by Linda L. Dowd

I’m a bonnie colleen,
from the Land of Green,
with eyes of sparkling blue.
If you come out to play,
on Saint Paddy’s day,
~ You can be Irish too!

Let’s drink emerald beer.
~ Make a toast and cheer,
to the home of the Blarney Stone.
If you’d like a kiss,
From this merry miss,
All you need do ~ is phone!

Oh, sweet Linda, you never cease to amaze me for your talent to write so well of the whole range of human emotions. From witty, to sad, to romantic.

I think your phone will be super busy!

Love and hugs and smiles.

Margherita my dolphina ~

Aw, but alas, the phone of this lass has made nary a ring-ding-a-ling. I'm all puckered up and rarin' to go ~ but no show!

Hmm! A glass of emerald beer should put the twinkle back in me sea blue eyes and the merry back into this fairy!

Sending a 4-Leaf clover your way!

Love & Irish blessings,

Nice poem Linda.

You celebrate St. Patrick's day in a far more wholesome way than I do.

I can often barely find my way home, a fact not helped by the fact that I'm usually at some house in an area I've never been before.

With love, Luke.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

Yo dear Linda,

Nice going.  Philly had it's Saint Patrick's Day parade today.

I didn't go this year.  I always got a kick out of the IRA marching in their trench coats.  I wonder if they still do that.

I want a kiss.  Send me your phone number.

Love Bobby

Lindsay ~

Hmmm, that's peculiar! I think I just felt that kiss from thousands of miles away! There's power in those Aussie lips of yours!

St. Patrick's Day is on March 17th ~ which is tomorrow! I have been wearing something green each day for the past few days. I really get into the 'spirit' of things!

Love & Irish blessings ~ and a little St. Paddy's kiss,

I'm going to spend this evening with one
of my favorite Irish lasses, Bridget Shenachie.

Maybe between the two of us, along with a
bit o'cheer, we can bring some of our more
pleasant moments right back here!

Cheers to all of the Irish, and e'ev those
who wish to be!

Good morning, dear ARCTIC! It trust your St. Patrick's Day was joyful? Mine was! Lots of laughing, eating (a boilded dinner of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots), laughing, singing and cheer!

"Colour me green" ~ that was cute, my elfin friend!
