    Poem Commentary

    A simple write about the Wee people of Ireland

    The Wee People

     

    Deep within the forest green

    Sometimes heard but seldom seen

    Dwell the wee people of this land

    Strong of heart as well as hand

     

    Their dress is simple but quite quaint

    Lasses in pointed shoes and dresses daint

    Lads in coats of color and caps of felt

    Trousers to the knee with braided belt    

     

    On summer nights with moon on high

    They dance and sing neath starry sky

    They boil fine stew for all to share

    Spinning olden tales with an Irish flair

     

    Flasks of ancient brew are tipped

    Welcomed by each thirsty lip

    They speak of gold in whispered tones

    Hidden in places all unknown

     

    Their origin is a mystery for all to ponder

    Some say they are gypsies meant to wander

    Some believe they are gnomes with magic powers

     Mixing concoctions from twigs and flowers         

     

    Whatever the truth may actually be

    There is one fact upon which all can agree

    Their lore and myth have given much pleasure

    Spawning magical stories for all to treasure.

    Once we loose the ability to reach into our imagination than we are truly lost. Thank you.

    Charlie, you not only are a great poet, but you are also a wonderful story-teller as well. I think you did a excellent job on this.

    Thank you Lori.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
