Fly me away to Ireland
To see if the hills are really that green
And to roll so far down them
And laugh in emerald grass

Hold me while we’re in Ireland
As the grass tickles my back
Tell me of leprechauns with gold
Let me laugh, let me laugh

Play with me in our Ireland
On that old rope swing by the lake
As the breeze tosses my hair
When I swing and swing and swing

Kiss me under our sea green moon
And sway to our made-up song
Run with me toward the pot of gold
As we dance around the rainbow

Stay with me in Ireland
In a place filled with bottle green
And shamrocks and clovers and ale
And love, our love, and freedom

come with me to Ireland


EDIT: I have never been to Ireland. I do not know what it looks like, smells like, what the weather is like, or if all the people have two heads

I honestly cannot stand this poem at all anymore. I have moved on and grown as a writer, I would like to think. I do not delete it because so many people seem to enjoy it.

So to everyone who thoroughly enjoys this poem: Thank you for your kind comments and generous favorites. I do not enjoy this poem now, but I am sure long ago, when I wrote it, I would have been overjoyed by this kind of response.

To those who seem to think I was trying to actually describe Ireland: Thank you for making me laugh. Seriously. I do not think Ireland is that green. I do not think Ireland is full of little leprechauns or rainbows with gold. I was not trying to describe the apparently rainy place it is. I was just writing a poem for who knows why anymore.

Nice poem though

p.s. You didn't include the enormous amounts of rain in the poem.

I love the concept of this poem... it's really nice. I'm not sure if I'm crazy about the line: When I swing and swing and swing becuase it kinda breaks the rhythm of the poem and makes it feel like you just threw it in there to fill space. A reall nice poem though. It captivated me. Very enjoyable! Great job!!
