Gorgeous Poem by M.J. Lemon

It must be one of the
greatest places on earth
-Ireland-
I've never visited, not the
republic anyway, but
I have come close many times
fine, maybe more than
a few times

It must be a gorgeous place
I did once know someone from Dublin
who saw things
maybe all things
in a gorgeous way

The candy bar was gorgeous
the mountains in the background
were gorgeous
even English Bay--
gorgeous

the local beer was
gorgeous
and so was the busker's
guitar

the dog was gorgeous
the cat was gorgeous
the solitude in the
park and the bench
they were gorgeous
the canary on
the porch across the street
was gorgeous

the chickens on the farm
they were gorgeous
the sheep, it goes
without saying,
were gorgeous
the cows, of course, were gorgeous

I suspect that if you're lucky
enough to find a soulmate
or a friend from Ireland
you'll get the gift and you'll

be feeling
gorgeous
