Soda Bread Poem

Soda bread, scones, 
and Guinness stew
Irish kitchen folk songs.

I pour a stout, later a red ale
then sip a Jameson...slow
think on my family
from Clare, Wexford, Antrim, 
Wicklow, and Cork.

Blessings, peace and rest to you
this St. Patrick's Day.

  1. Been to Wicklow. Been to Cork. As a young man I remember visiting Ireland. Sitting in a Pub on a rainy Sunday, early afternoon...filled with happy families. Giant glasses of Guiness. Waiting for the foam to melt into the brown stout..takes longer in Ireland. Your poem brought back memories of my twenties...just travelling...hitchhiking aside an old Irish road. Happy St. Pattie's day!!!! To scones, stout and laughter!

  2. Happy St Pat's, my friend. My great-grandma came from County Cork.
