the irish harp 

 

the harp belongs in dublin town

and as half a heart is round

strung in exponential curves 

for pure and  natural sound

 

plucked by elven fingers

sweet tones ring out in song

on o'donovan street

where elven feet

all lightly skip along

 

i wake from dreaming slumber

in faerie fountain park

to see the darling dancing

of children to the harp

 

the player sits beside the gate

her eyes a soft sapphire

dear elven child

so fair and wild

you charm the towns of eire

Wonderful....I read and come away in a far better frame of mind. When I was younger I loved poetry..even dabbled in it...but somehow I was chased away by a dried up English teacher...I still loved to read and draw, but I hadn’t returned to poetry until I read your work.....Keep it up and thank you for the inspiration!
