Really great and beautiful tanka series but I have to riff in a different direction, I hope you don't mind.

Truly magical

St Patricks Days of my youth

Now wear the claddagh

Eternal love and friendship

My patron Saint is Lindsey

Maybe one day I'll forget that Lindsey passed on St Patty's Day. No. Won't. Can't. You know what I mean. It was never my fucking holiday anyway, just an excuse to get drunk and do stupid things like drink green beer out of my friend's sneaker in college. I don't mean to yuck anyone's yum. Lots of people die on holidays. You know I use the comment pane as a sounding board for my feelings at times.

I really did love your creations my friend.
