"Game of Thrones"  Open in new Window. by Gaby Author Icon

Rhythm/Rhyme:
The poem had good rhyme schemes from one stanza to the next. It had a good flow as well. Great job incorporating the word eloquence into the lighthearted poem

Summary:
The Irish Legend of going to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney stone. It is said if one kisses the stone, they will have the gift of gab. Nice use of this legend put into a poem that really relays this old Irish tale well.

Critique:
A good ol' taste of the Irish! You had great imagery in the poem of climbing the steps to get the tower, hanging upside down, the smells of lavender and of course the visual imagery of four-leaf clovers, which really gave a nice glimpse of Ireland and how we've come to think of it through generations. You didn't stop there, but included other things that are associated with being Irish. I liked the photo you chose to add to show someone upside down and kissing the stone. It added depth to the images you conveyed through written words. I didn't notice this until afterward and seeing it made me smile. You did capture the beauty of Ireland with references to sweet lavender, and meadows of green that go on for miles. Nicely done. Write on!
