Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
A strong and noble man had to fight for everything he had and with no help from his family had to be twice as strong minded as everyone else and without complain met every challenge in life. He was selfsuficiant out of necessity because he was utterly
alone.
He found a girl that was a lot like him due to her own dysfunctional family and lack of emotional and physical support. She had a hard life too that made her a survivor and very unique as HE was.
Then with the magic of love he found his soul mate, the one who saw the real him and understood him completely. She was able to love him as he was.
They felt in love. Being as strong and selfsuficiant as he was he didn't want her pity or see his hunger for love and nurturing that was stolen from him in his life.
She didn't need to speak because true love has a language of its own.
She was jealous and lacked trust in men due to her back luck with them and until that day she attracted all kind of losers. It was hard for her to believe she had found a decent man worthy of trust.
It was hard for them to realize THEIR own divinity and know how precious they were in a deep level of consciousness. Also to realize THEIR freedom and power within.
And it's all due to the unbelievable luck and blessing to be Irish. The much superior race that against all hard breaks in life they are the most magnificent race in the world. They had to fight hard and beat humongous odds and bad luck, which happens to be f@cking ironic since they are perceived to HAVE the LUCK OF THE IRISHMEN.
Excellent tale and well told. Good job my magnificent Irishman friend. I'm truly blessed and lucky to have a friend like you. LoL was that over the top?
Spaniers tend to be a bit dramatic and overly affectionate. By the way, I come from the equally magnificent race of Spanish people. What are the odds of that?

Wow, Gypsy Queen of Interpreting the Intentions of the Madly in Love Irish Poet. What a beautiful interpretation and poetic write about my work. Your words are a worthy post in their own right.
"She didn't need to speak because true love has a language of its own."
That's a very true statement but hard for many people to accept. Insecurity kind of makes someone yearn to hear the words even though they may know what they know. But, what you are saying is quite true.
I think your interpretation is beautiful and very much on the money and maybe better in some ways than my own. You are certainly on the same page with me. Yes, I know the Spanish people well and agree. The only way to conquer the top is to go over it. LOL mikey
-
LOL Thank you, Irish Mike. It's such a joy to see you be proud of your heritage. I think that is important. Your poem exuberates Irish pride and folklore. I love it. I like your last stanza about the souls. A Lucky Irish man that's madly in love with the beautiful green eyes Irish girl.
To me, it's easy to interpret your poems, at least so far. You have great depth in your poetry but you are not conceited and pretentious like other poets think they must be to be great literary geniuses. I never have a clue what those guys are writing about.
Thank you for title # 28 :)

That's nice to hear you understand what I write. You'd be surprised. Not that many do actually. I get a lot of blank stares. HAHAHA! Well, on my wild and rambling free verse anyway. This is pretty straight forward I think. Gracias, miguel
-
Ay, Miguel, me encanta tu nombre.
Well, maybe is an Irish and Spanish thing, we understand each other. Did you know that Irishman that moved to Spain in the 1500s and stayed in our country, were called black Irish? Don't ask me why.
Buenas noches, Miguel :) it's already 2 am in California, the same for you. What are you doing up this late at night? Young man. I'm off to bed. ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

Comment from Louise Michelle
I think the Irish are the most gifted when it comes to story telling. I never knew much about Irish people until I read the book, "Angela's Ashes."
Anyway, this is a fantastic poem. I love the originality of the style.
I'm going to click on the link because I'm wondering if there's an audio to accompany this. Hugs, Lou

A beautiful book, yes. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this. It is very much my true style when left to my own devices. So I'm extra thrilled you like it. No audio, is that something you think I should do? I've seen a couple others do that. I thought about it actually. I sing and things like that. I could throw in an Irish accent for fun. :)) Thanks so much. The biggest smiles here. Hugs to you, mikey
-
Yes, absolutely do an audio, especially if you sing. There used to be a gal who wrote songs and sang them online. It was such a treat. And going back even further, there was a fellow who recited his poems with an Irish accent, or maybe it was British, but it really enhanced his work.
-
Okay. I'll see if I can figure it out. :))
I remember Pipersfancy used to sing some of her pieces. Very pretty voice. Cool girl.
Not sure if you know Pantygynt. He does some reciting and a bit of singing. Pretty cool. :))
-
That's right, it was Pipersfancy. I don't remember hearing Pantygynt, but I don't spend that much time here. As a matter of fact, if you do post with your voice, please send me a PM to let me know.
-
Okay, I shall. I miss Piper, she played the bagpipes. Way too cool. Look up PG, he's pretty cool. :))

When two people meet their is either nothing that draw them together or their is an invisible bond that holds them together without knowing why, you just know it should be like this or not.

As always, you put your finger right on the pulse and get to the heart of the matter. Beautifully said, Sandra. Thanks so much, mikey
Comment from Briergate
Oh, this is beautiful. I very much loved the idea that the only thing which binds a soul captive, is the belief that this is so. You also have a very strong flair for rhyme which is original, unforced and lends beauty, rather than restraining the message. Lovely also to read (and learn!) some Gaelic thank you. A very slight criticism, in that the writing could be polished a little, to really raise this up to perfection.

Hi, Briergate
What a lovely complimentary review. I'm so pleased especially at some of the points you raised and your mention of the style. I usually write more conventional things, but this is more my style when I just write what I wish. I will keep looking at this word by word to polish it up and tweak it here and there as you suggest. Every time I read it I find a word to add or remove so you're right, it still has some room to polish for sure. I do appreciate you pointing out both positive things as well as areas you think might need some improvement. Wonderful review. Big smiles. mikey

Glad I made you smile :-) x
Comment from Pantygynt
First off I could not disagree more with your note. This unmistakeably Irish. Whoever wrote this (a broth of boy called Michael I believe) has French-kissed the Blarney stone and that is as near to being French or any other country as this is going to get. It is just gorgeous and I loved it. The fact that the meat of it could be set down in the seventeen syllables of a Senryu is neither here nor there. This is a Irish as a four leafed shillealeagh (just add more letters to that if you want but there is no need to actually pronounce any of them).
Spag? Yes, two instances:
"but then he LEPT!" It 's 'leapt' or 'leaped'
"I take this as her biding me come forth." She is 'bidding'.

Yeah, you're right. LOL I was trying to be diplomatic. It's totally Irish. Why say something in seventeen syllables when you can use five hundred words? I always spell that wrong. Bad habit. Fixed both, thanks. Glad you liked this. Thanks a bunch. I'll try and catch up with some reviewing. You've got some intriguing stuff. I see you're back going with Carol again. Good news. mikey

It doesn't sound like you read this. Did you? Nothing you're saying in your review has anything to do with the poem. It sounds like your making up anything just to collect the money. A review means you read the piece and then comment on it. What did you like about it, what didn't you like. Was there mistakes, etc. Are you hoping that people read your work or would you just as soon they don't bother, make up a few lines and take your money? mikey
Comment from way2gokevs
Well Irish I'm not but your Irish poem in a story has merit and for all who read will be able to decipher what your story means. For it was not only love that was born but friendship and understanding. We can all relate to that.
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers, kev

Comment from brenda bickers
Hi Mikey,
this was truly beautiful, What a fantastic tale of two opposites who find each other and face the world together.
The style is so unique, I have never seen this format before. The language used just fits the type of poem and the topic so well. True or not this was really touching.
More of this please.
Brenda:))x
