IT'S ST. PATRICK'S DAY


"Bells of Ireland", watercolor by Linda McCoy
It’s St. Patrick’s day,
and for him it’s a day
for the sounds of spring.
He listened this morning
as water went through the pipes
with the rush
of revived rivers,
and he noticed
that the frig motor 
had found a youthful hum. 
Even his bow ties
swished in his hands
as he searched through them
for something green.
