Hi GreenWillow! I'm coming across so many pretty items here on WDC this month so far, and yours is no exception! I love Acrostic poetry forms, so when I noticed yours as a tribute to St. Patrick's Day, I knew this is one that I'd love! I was right!

Let me first say that the colorful image in the brief introduction is eye catching. The title, Ode to the Emerald Isle, adds to the poetic beauty.

I thought it was a perfect choice to present your poem in a large, green font. What better way to show off a St. Patrick's Day poem!

I also thought it was a nice touch to not only capitalize the first letter of each line, but to underline those letters as well. It really made the, 'St. Patrick's Day' show out, in my opinion.

Your lines told a story of Ireland well. Your opening, made me feel the warmth of spring. I liked that you said, 'clover', and I immediately thought of shamrocks! I was also able to imagine a pink hue of sunrise, so I could picture the narrator waking and seeing that sky.

The mention of castles and the stone they are made of, added a piece to your poem that makes Ireland seem like a, 'wondrous land', indeed. You also cleverly provoked thoughts in your readers, by hinting for them to ponder what stories those ancient castles hold. Maybe there were saints that lived nearby. In any event, there is certainly a lot of history.

I've visited Ireland a few times, and I've seen castles. I agree that it has a beauty all of it's own. You captured that beauty in your lovely poem.
