This Irish quatrain, I Be Irish, uses the correct rhyme scheme and provides four stanzas which include lots of topics Isee as strictly of Irish origin. Neat.

This writing truly should have gotten a 20 it brings in the Irish atmosphere, the lango is of the leprechaun and the Irish people, the green frog is a good selection to drive home the heart of the theme of the contest I love it sets the leprechaun and Irish atmosphere thanks for sharing in my book you want it

Good art with a good poem. All do become Irish on St. Paddies day. It seems you've pointed out a lot of the things that shout "I'm Irish" and I enjoyed your poetry.

A very well-written Irish Quatrain and written with great fun in mind. It seems the frog is an Irish princess hoping for a Prince to pass by and make her his princess.

I think this is a good entry for the An Irish Quatrain Poem writing prompt.
You have done a good job of describing the Irish in your well rhymed verse.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.
Sharon

What a charming poem. I totally enjoyed it. I think that your photo and green background set the uplifting mood. My only suggestion would be to work on a couple of the rhymes. For instance, you could say a face full of smiles. For the other one you could say
The Blarney Stone I've kissed. ..
Goode olde Ireland
By so many missed

Hope you win the competition. It's a cute poem.

I appreciate the Irishness of your poem. The last stanza has a great rhyme, and was cheeky. The first three stanzas, smile and miles don't rhyme (smile and mile do); stone/ home and trick Patrick feels forced. I like the content of your poem, and all the different aspects you incorporated into your work.

Dear Anonymous Poet;
Thank you for sharing your Irish Quatrain for the competition. You hit on all the traditional sayings and accounts of the day the Irish kiss the blarney stone.

A few of your rhymes were near rhymes which threw the rhythm off a bit for me.

Good luck in the contest,

~patty~
