Hello Lucky Friday!
I bought a Shamrock scarf to wear to school four years ago--and haven't had a chance to wear it. But, today I wear the green! Thank you, Laura Purdie Salas for hosting this week's poetry round-up.

Hello Lucky Friday!
I bought a Shamrock scarf to wear to school four years ago--and haven't had a chance to wear it. But, today I wear the green! Thank you, Laura Purdie Salas for hosting this week's poetry round-up.
Lucky for you, 'inner peas' is your best bet when going green.
ReplyDeleteIrish you a Happy St. Patty's Day, dear Linda! :)
Happy St. Paddy's Day!! Love your poems (I'm married to a leprechaun, and dig the jump jive rhythm of your LUCKY word poem). :) Have fun with the green scarf today!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day, Linda! I love the urgency in your sweet poem. Hope you found something lucky and enjoyed the day. And your L.U.C.K.Y. poem is delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really fun poem, Linda. Love the rhymes, especially "shillelagh" and "daily." Shillelagh is just a fun word to say! My second-grade friends were making leprechaun traps yesterday; I hope they were successful.
ReplyDeleteCan;t imagine a teacher not in green today! Hope you found lucky! Happy St. Pat's! -
ReplyDeleteHope it's been a lucky day all the day, Linda. Wearing the green is something one grandpa taught me. He was not Irish but so very superstitious. Love the way you've ended each verse & that you have covered all the important things!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Paddy's day Linda! We're in green over here too. Hope you have a great day celebrating!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day! This is a fun poem to celebrate the day. I hope you found your special something to help you celebrate!
ReplyDeleteA poem fit for the occasion, Linda. A jolly poem that rolls along with a fine feel to it- to be sure! Happy St Patrick's Day.
ReplyDelete"Irish enough." I forgot to wear green and didn't even eat potatoes. I guess "Irish enough" for me was in my DNA this year (thank you, Mom's family)!
ReplyDeleteI love you poem and the hopeful urgency created with your words. It reminds me of Jack Prelutsky's style! Like Mary Lee, I also forgot to wear green but as I explained to my husband, I used to wear orange - something about being protestant. He thought it was awful - like a protest. But I assured him it wasn't. Where we went to college many moons ago, St. Pat's was a huge deal - we had a school of ceramic engineering of which St. Pat is the patron saint!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful and fitting poem, Linda, and you get extra points for rhyming "shillelagh"! :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha--so fun, Linda!
ReplyDeleteYour poem reminds me of the woman I saw while doing a little shopping on Friday rushing into the store and frantically searching for a green shirt, sweater, anything for St. Patrick's Day. Thanks for the fun poem!
ReplyDeleteSuch a dashingly fun poem Linda, I hope your Shamrock scarf brought and spread around lots of luck!
