no such thing as leprechauns

The following is my response to the visual prompt of Magpie Tales #57. The responses of other writers are linked from the site.


would that the luck of the Irish
turn heated rain to shamrocks
that burst to pots of gold
where they fell —
pots of gold and violets
to pay for hope
and promise a fertile
future
