Irish Poem

This is a deibide baise fri toin, which is a fun Irish poetic form.

The Banshee

wailed as I said to the sea

die"

New to me Falcon but pleased to learn more. One more sunrise before I die' really stimulates the imagination. I think I'd rather enjoy the last sunrise without the wailing banshees though:)

You are not alone my friend but let's hope Banshees can be avoided. :) --- Thanks for the visit.

I love the form, never heard of it before. I could see someone screaming this from the bow of a ship as the storm roll in and all might be lost. Great and impactful short piece!

[JE Falcon]

A first attempt, thanks.

It felt Irish too. And strong. Like you pulled out your poetic gun and aimed it squarely at the Banshee yelling, "Back off!" Saw Cherrie do one of these too. How many forms of poetry are there!!!!

[JE Falcon]

Your last question is answered first, --- "Try Googling > 10 Irish Poetic Forms - Writer's Digest < just for starters. --- Yes, Cherrie got me started with her first "deibide baise fri toin poem". --- I've added two more, look for "Irish Poems - 2" ---Thanks for the look-see

I love it. ❤️
Who can get along with a Banshee, or get the last word.
Best to be silent maybe she won't notice you.

I had to revisit these, I reworded and cut back the one. --- I wrote two more and titled them Irish Poems- 2 --- Have a look-see when you can and tell me what you think, I'm in uncharted waters here, LOL.
