Little Green Laughter
~~~

Sunlight sweeps
above the dale
while shades of heather
lift their veil
Then gentle mist
of morning
swirls
enhancing dawn
with nature's pearls
~
See songbird's flight
encircle glen
to spot
late crawler's
search for den
Yet ...
not all
that dwells in understory
hides this day ...
this day's their glory
~
The songbirds flee the piper's grin
"Far Darrig O'Malice
yer at it again"
The silence broke
the wildwoods
rustle
From near and far
the wee ones
hustle
~
The songs roll out
the barrels too
the leprechauns
abandon shoe
They all break out
one piece
of gold
To waste
before their play
grows cold
~
They barter sheep
while lifting hogs
They saddle ... ride
the farmer's dogs
And all the while
they laugh
and shout
they never
spill
their mugs
of stout
~
The Cluricauns
with stouter trumpet
Decend the town
Subdue
the strumpet
Spend their purse
to chase romance
The quean
much slicker ...
steals
their pants
~
Within the glen
with dusk's approach
the smoke gets thick
as suppers
roast
The music
swirls
the echoes
sail
The dancers
chant
an Irish tale
~
An those with naked butts
are taught
They stop ... it gives
the bugs a shot
Far Darrigs
crawl
beneath the kegs
they pop the corks
and fill their legs
~
St. Patrick's blessed another year
The sound of snoring
now all
you hear
~~~

If you continue
to think
what you have always thought
you will continue
to get
what you have always got!

Hi Rex!!  Fantastic write...
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!

Poetry is not an opinion expressed...
it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound
...or a smiling mouth.
