Irish folk are charming And also very fey. They tell you where you're going Before you've gone away, Their speech is so beguiling. Like honey from a comb. No matter where they wander, They always dream of home. Of verdant hills and cliffs so high, Part of the country's lore, Of leprechauns and shamrocks, Of Cork and Inishmore, One of Aran's islands, Set in a restless sea, Of Dublin and it's churches. The seaport of Tralee And always in the forefront, They think of family! Betty Lou Hebert |

I like this and it is very musical. We're all Irish on March 17th. I look for your poetry. Love, Joyce |

This Irish lass thanks you, critique? This is some of the most perfect meter I've read in a long time. Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

This flows like honey!! You have described them perfectly. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Thanks Joyce. I really am half Irish so it's easy to "think green". Betty Lou Hebert |

Kathleen: What a nice critique! I do try to think about meter while I am writing and I guess in this case, it paid off. Betty Lou Hebert |

It's a grand tribute, to be sure. Thanks for it! Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
