Winner in Samberine Rose's Contest for I Write in 2018 |
Claddagh Rings & Gossamer Dreams Two hands were united promises made, Two Claddagh rings given: Sunlight, no shade Springs blossomed to summers; Hours grew to years; Irish dreams to memories ~ Scrapbook of tears Vows sacred to one soul, balance of woe; Devotion unwavered ~ Seasons, they go One heart stands unbroken, stronger it seems ~ Holding on to visions, Gossamer dreams... 16 lines This is the prompt: "See! the winter is past, the rains are over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;" This poem was entered in and won ~~
