Hi JLR, I like the way you dwell in a completely fantastical world. I did find one glitch in your I Am poem though... in the second stanza, the third line should start with, "I touch" not "I pat" ... a fun fantasy :)

Susan, thank you, perhaps you are correct.
Comment from juliaSjames
You paint a beguiling picture of yourself. Creative, imaginative, kind and caring. Spiritual too. I love unicorns too. In fact my husband got me a toy one for Christmas. He knows I'm a child at heart. LOL
Best of Irish luck to you in the contest.
Blessings Julia

Gypsy, yes indeed grandchildren do make the world a vastly improved landscape.
Comment from bob cullen
Firstly, thank you for being Irish. My grandparents, on both sides came originally from Cork. Guess that's why I float in water.
This is a beautifully constructed poem. To me it's a picture of the world through the eyes of an older man, probably a granddad. I loved this poem, JLR.

Bob, I delight in your Irish heritage! And yes, being a granddad is truly a special time in life, in so many uncountable ways.

Aah Patty, how kind of you! I think these little challenges do allow us to breathe a freshness of honest reflection from time to time.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, I Am Irish, finds a lot of self-description here. This person has imagination and a unicorn obsession. Your fears for the future and your hopes for it work together to make saddling that last unicorn much easier.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about who You are. It seems you have a well-lived life that pleases you in every way. You like to spend time with your grandchildren and worry about their future.

Sandra, thank you for your review,so it is so!
Comment from JudyE
You certainly sound Irish in this poem which I enjoyed reading.
Just one point: I think in the following 'I worry about my grand children's futures' 'grandchildren' should be one word.
Best wishes

Comment from Gail Denham
Well done for the poetry challenge - to write about yourself. I'm half-afraid to do this challenge - would have to admit I'm kind of selfish at times, and quick to retort.
But you've fashioned a good picture of how you feel about yourself. It's very good.
