For your St. Patrick's Day reading pleasure, a wee poem written in the acrostic form about Ireland - the Emerald Isle.
Ireland Acrostic
I reland always beckoning:
R ainbows and pots of gold;
E merald Isle ever glistening in Celtic tales of old.
L eprechauns, lurking, listening;
A ncient Druids by Saints redeemed.
N omad offspring seek those green shores,
D rawn to Eire like ancient reckoning.
