Oh Wow! This is so lovely it breathes.

This is such a gentle, lovely piece. It feels like a quiet breath taken in the middle of a beautiful day.

What I really appreciate is the sense of gratitude that runs through every line. There’s no rush here, no need to impress. You’re simply noticing the world and honoring it, and that makes the poem feel sincere and grounded. Lines like “count myself blessed to be awake” carry a quiet wisdom that lingers.

Your imagery is especially strong. The green of clover, blue of sky, pink heather beneath tall pines, I could see it all clearly without feeling overwhelmed by description. The rhythm flows naturally, almost like a walk through the landscape you’re describing.

I also love the way you move from nature into history. The transition to castles, saints, and sacred ground feels organic, as though the land itself is telling its story. There’s reverence there, but also warmth, a sense of belonging and longing rather than distance.

That final line is perfect. It gathers everything you’ve shown us and turns it into a simple, honest wish. By the end, I didn’t just understand why you’d love to be in Ireland, I felt it too.

This poem feels peaceful, reflective, and full of quiet joy. It’s the kind of writing that invites the reader to slow down and appreciate both the world and their place in it.

You do have a gift! You are so talented you should have your poems published. I would buy that book of poems.
Keep up the good work.

Kind wishes,
Tee
