[bodytext] => The Irish sun is burning
Its rays bleed into the sky
Before a brotherhood of hiding stars
Evening lovers gather nigh.
A Celtic sunset is a warning
Of something awesome in the air
Of the worst of life and the best of it
Of friends and family drawing near.
The Irish twilight is a blessing -
A treble promise to unfold
The place on earth closest to God.
A lively evening story told.
The Irish sunset is a pledge
From departed pilgrims to return
As songs of erstwhile summerfest
Keep them as they journey on.

This is excellent, Elena. I do enjoy the notion of sunset and sunrise/summerfest o'er the shores of the Americas.
Beautifully sentimental. |

Just beautifully written Elena. An Irish beauty is who I am love with and this poem relates and releases imagery about her. She is like the rays of the sun. An Irish sun!

Beautiful! You did a wonderful job. I loved it. I love watching the sun go down and hide behind this big hill side behind my house. It's so calming. I liked this poem for the life that you gave to it. You made me feel like I was there. I also like this poem because I'm mostly Irish! Keep up the good work. Hope to hear more.

Beautiful! Such a vivid sense of color and vitality. This is full of the love that the Irish feel for all the wonderful things of God's making. Well done!
