Irish Curse

The Irish island, green and gold,

holds a story long untold.

While children laughed and danced around, 

all the dead sleep, underground. 

For kids had caused the curse that the witch hath spoken,

a curse that, sadly, can not be broken.

The dead arise, and savor the screams.

They run around, killing people and dreams. 

When life and death are in folks eyes,

they try to save themselves through lies.

The dead had savored flesh and bones,

but when all is through, they return to the grave with groans. 

But then another child dances on graves,

it is another child that can not be saved.

For the witches curse can not be broken,

and her name for centuries remains unspoken. 

The Irish island, green and gold,

holds a curse, for it is told.

Ireland is like, my dream country, and it's my biggest dream and goal to be there one day. I've heard and seen so many wonders of Ireland, and one day, I'll leave my country, "Land of the free" and be there. Tell me, is it really as amzing as I hope and dream?

It is difficult to go wrong when you use the first line as the title.
Your love of writing stories is clearly visible in this poem. The poem gives information, like a story. Can you give us the emotions of the story without giving us all of the details of the story? I like the inspiration of this poem, but I want the words to make me afraid. I want to 'feel' the words you share. Please keep sharing your inspirations and the emotions will surface. I look forward to being able to 'feel' what you write.
