end game

penny whistle
plays a lively tune
to
dance by

while I wonder
-- if Ireland is really
as green
as stories tell

of banquet halls
built with ancient
stone
surrounded by emerald green

green -- melancholy colour
no matter how bright
its hue
colour of envy -- some have surmised

envy -- from whence has it
arrived
when shall it
leave?

rainbow and all its
tincture is a lovely vision
one of Nature's greatest
-- jokes

whimsical anomaly
can't quite describe
ephemeral
mirage

mirage -- distinctive
for a moment
edge of sight's
counterfeit

some memory
from long ago
or present tense
just -- so.

I know there is a day in March that celebrates Ireland, and this is a beautiful tribute to that land. Well done, Victor.
