Poetry: You and I

Poetry: You and I

by Liam

This moment of bliss,

you and I,

seated on the veranda,

seemingly two,

yet united in soul,

you and I.

We sense life’s flowing water here,

you and I,

amidst the garden’s splendor

and the melody of birds.

The stars shall witness our union,

and we shall illustrate to them,

You and I,

the essence of a slender crescent moon.

You and I,

Independent yet intertwined,

unperturbed by idle chatter,

you and I.

The celestial parrots shall indulge in sweets

as we share laughter,

you and I.

In one guise upon this earth,

and in another guise in an eternal, sweet realm.

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

One of the funniest responses to receiving wonderfully fantastic news might be to do a celebratory dance or to express exaggerated excitement, like jumping up and down while screaming with joy. 🤩 that’s me definitely.

Fun Poetry:

Fun Poetry: The Furor

by Liam

The sun will chase the stars from sight

Shine on, yet invisible by daylight

Your love drenched eyes they leave me too

In sleep we loose the shine

Still we share the beat

Nothing is lost in the dark of night

Right

What drives this universe,

Me

entangled, entwined ?

The rhythmic pulse of loves beating core

It’s more than a thought

A picture, or booty

It’s the energy, with which together holds

All in spin

All in flux

Our galaxy one of many much more

We the dust of this

Furor

It’s love, it’s love, simply more love

Keeps the heavens in spin above

The stars ashine

The smile in your eye

When I see that you want, what sparkles in

Mine

King Brian Boru Kennedy

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

The Irish name Kennedy has a fascinating etymology.

It is of Gaelic origin and is believed to come from the Old Irish name “Cinnéidigh” or “Cinnéididh,” which can be broken down as follows:

1. Cinn: This Gaelic word means “head” or “chief.”

2. Éidigh (or Éididh): This part of the name refers to “helmet” or “armor.”

Therefore, Kennedy essentially means “helmeted King” or “King with a helmet.” The name reflects a historical association with Kingship and warriors or protectors.

Brian Boru Kennedy was a High King of Ireland who played a crucial role in the Battle of Clontarf in 1014.

On the opposing side, the Viking King of Dublin, Sigtrygg Silkbeard, and the Viking Earl of Orkney, Brodir, were part of this coalition.

The battle was complex but Brian Boru emerged victorious in the battle, but lost his life in the process.

The Battle of Clontarf had a significant impact on Irish history. The eventual freedom of Dublin Town after a 1000 years of Viking occupation.

An ancient direct ancestor of our family tree. Liam
