I love your poem, and the imagery attached. I think even if you hadn't posted this particular photo with it, I could have envisioned the leprechaun's purse you were describing. Good luck with the contest!

Hi Jessica, thanks for the compliments for both the poem and image. It's always nice in knowing a viewer uses their imagination when reading too. I'm glad your imagination was eager to picture the Leprechaun's purse. Thank's for the wishes for the contest! I'm happy to say I came in 2nd! :o) Helvi
Comment from jacquelyn popp
This poem is a beautifully crafted and captivating journey into the world of Irish folklore and hidden treasures! The way the words flow so smoothly through each stanza creates a sense of magical wonder that draws the reader in. The rhyming is well done, with each line unfolding with a rhythm that keeps you anticipating the next piece of the mystery.
The imagery of the leprechaun hiding gold beside a rainbow is both familiar and fresh, and the idea of a flower that looks like a purse is an inventive twist that sparks curiosity. The way you've woven in the idea of stealth and cleverness-just like the elusive leprechauns themselves-adds depth and intrigue to the narrative. It's a beautiful reminder that treasure is not always where we expect, and sometimes, we must look closer and be more perceptive to find what's truly valuable.
I absolutely love the way you tie the magical display to St. Patrick's Day, making it feel like a rare, once-in-a-lifetime event. It creates a sense of wonder and anticipation, making this poem feel like a secret waiting to be uncovered. Pure gold within the flower, both literally and metaphorically, speaks to the richness that life offers if we are patient and discerning enough to discover it.
In conclusion, this poem is an inspiring and magical read, full of heart, mystery, and the promise that hidden treasures often require more than just luck-they require insight, patience, and the courage to seek.

Comment from Karen Cherry
There are a lot of people on here with bad or fading eyesight. So please use a larger font. Also you need a lighter background behind light colored writing, some folks can't read without a good contrast. Do you remember the 1959 Disney action film with Sean Connery? "Darby O'Gill and the little people?" He was so young! Good poetry. Karen

HI Karen, I'm thrilled you enjoyed the poem. I totally understand what your saying! :o) I had a lot of trouble in the editor with formatting. All the verses and lines were running together even though I left space. It took a long time for me to straighten that out. Next time for sure the font will be larger but right now I'm afraid to change anything. Thank you for the great review!

The fan story program sometimes makes a big fat mess and takes more time to post it, than it took to write it.

Hi Marilyn, I was creating a mixed media image for FAR and thought these purse flowers were the perfect place to hide the Leprechauns gold so I made up the story. I was inspired by another artists work and all of a sudden I was giving the flowers a magical look and wrote a poem to go with the image. Though I've been a member of Fan Story for a long time this is the first poem I wrote this year. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! :o) Helvi

This is a great St. Patty's Day poem. It is well organized and flows nicely. So now I know where to find the gold hidden in the natural flower.
Well done and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Karen Denise
I really like this poem! I enjoyed the flow of it and thought the rhyme scheme worked well. I liked that you made this about the cleverness of the leprechauns and the need for slyness to obtain the great wealth, rather than the traditional sort of concept of them just inexplicably leading you right to a pot of gold. This is an excellent entry for the contest!
