My Poem 'Happy Saint Patrick's Day'
Cheers, everybody!
Today is the day!
Today is Saint Patrick's Day -
and some of the best ways
that you may wish to choose
to remember and to pay tribute to
the fifth century patron Saint of Ireland
might be to wear something green,
to find yourself a shamrock,
to venture into a town or a city
and enjoy a Saint Patrick's Day parade,
or to visit an Irish bar
and consume a dark and heavy
pint of Guinness, perhaps?
A shamrock has always been closely associated
with Saint Patrick, and also with luck -
and it is sometimes claimed that
Saint Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock
as a way to teach people about the holy trinity
at the centre of Christianity -
the father, the son, and the holy ghost -
and of course the shamrock has long
been thought of and considered a symbol of
the regenerative power of nature
and it's indomitable resilience.
There are many legends and traditions
that surround Saint Patrick, his life,
and his importance in Irish history
and culture, that have spread
and are well known all around the world -
and every year people gather together,
they wear green, they maybe drink some Irish ale,
they feast, they sing, they dance,
they embrace the gifts that
the island of Ireland has given us,
and people remember the apostle of Ireland,
Saint Patrick, on the day of his death,
and they pay tribute in their own way
to the great missionary and man of the people,
who may have been born in Roman Britain
but who will always be considered
Ireland's most famous Irishman.
So, find yourself a shamrock,
wear something green, eat, drink,
be merry, and remember Saint Patrick
today, March the 17th, and have a
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everybody!

Mark also talks about the equally valid and yet different experiences of reading a story by an author and listening to a story read by an author, and how rich and informative those experiences can be for readers, listeners, and authors also.
