Youthful Wish
Blarney stone that must be kissed,
upon the young secret wish.
Leprechauns hide in the trees
Equinox calls winter’s eve.
Promising a rainbow’s gold,
tales of Gaelic undertake old.
Celts beckon their clover green,
caftan plaid skirts the genome.
Threnody hushed from the past…
renaissance wishes forever last.

Stephanie
My Gaelic daughter,
A child of grace.
A spirited heart,
An angelic face.
Fears of a mother
Go ahead of her steps.
No greater joy,
Her pain is kept.
Walk among the clover,
Feed under the thatch.
Angels go as you rover .
A lassie of no match.

Blarney Stone
The blarney stone that must be kissed,
upon the young and old secret wish.
As leprechauns hide in the trees
Equinox calls for winter’s eve.
Promising to find a rainbow’s gold
while tales of Gaelic undertake of old.
Now the Celts beckon their clover green,
caftan plaid skirts give away the genome,
Threnody hushed from the past…
as renaissance of wishes forever last.
