HAPPY EASTER TO ALL.
LET'S FINISH THE TERM WITH ALEJANDRO'S POEM, WRITTEN IN RESPONSE TO NAOMI SHYHAB NYE "FAMOUS".
http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/177521
I want to be famous to myself.
I want to be as famous to life
as blood is famous to the heart.
I want to be the tick-tack
of the clock of my relations.
I want to come back
to the memories of my grandsons.
I want to be famous to the people
that will always appreciate me.
I want to bring back
the Big Bang of my birth.
I want to be important
to the important people in my life.
Alejandro O.

IRISH POT OF GOLDDating back to Old Europe, the legend of the pot of gold is claimed enthusiastically by the Irish. They'll tell you that fairies put the gold there and then the leprechauns guard it. This folklore has become part of the symbolism of St. Patrick's Day, a holiday that celebrates everything Irish including the hope and luck it takes to find that elusive pot of gold.One of the biggest signs that a Leprechaun is near by is from the rainbow shining from the leprechauns' pot of gold. |
One good tip, a leprechaun is sure to be found near his pot of gold. One needs to be careful when approaching any leprechaun as they are extremely quick and will vanish at the sight of any humans close by, but you can manage to creep up behind him with a net in hope to get the pot of gold or three wishes. Be careful what you wish for though, as Leprechaun's are smarter than us humans and are known to trick people.
To protect the leprechaun’s pot of gold the Irish fairies gave them magical powers to use if ever captured by a human or an animal. Such magic an Irish leprechaun would perform would be to grant three wishes or to vanish into thin air!
WHAT IF YOU FOUND A LEPRECHAUM..... ASK FOR THREE WISHES......
