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

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!
