A poem from Ireland is;
Mud, sheep shit, gorse and rocks
marble statues, woolly socks
whiskey, turf, embers grey
black skies, tie-dyes, yesterdays
love, ribbons, broken dreams
lace, tweed and endless seams
creaking doors, cobwebs, light
death, ceilings, talks at night

I'm so excited. I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it! Sorry, I was listening to this song and it fit my mood at the moment.
