This week top Irish poem: I See His Blood Upon The Rose, By Joseph Mary Plunkett
Well, I think this week’s top Irish poem is the shortest one yet. But don’t be fooled by the shortness of this poem.
This poem comes in at number 22 on the top 100 Irish poems list.
‘I See His Blood Upon the Rose’ is a poem in which basically, every line is a reference in some shape or form to Christ, God and religion.
I see His Blood Upon the Rose.
I see his blood upon the rose
And in the stars the glory of his eyes,
His body gleams amid eternal snows,
His tears fall from the skies.
I see his face in every flower;
The thunder and the singing of the birds
Are but his voice—and carven by his power
Rocks are his written words.
All pathways by his feet are worn,
His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea,
His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn,
His cross is every tree.
This weeks joke: The drunk man outside the bar
On a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood pub in Listowel, the Garda noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.
After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his own car, which he fell into.
He was there for a few minutes as several other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally, he started the car, switched the wipers on and off ( it was a dry night ), flicked the hazard flasher on and off, tooted the horn, and then switched on the lights.
He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as more patrons left in their vehicles.
At last ( when almost everyone had left ), he pulled out of the parking lot & started to drive slowly down the street.
The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyser test.
To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all!
Dumbfounded, the officer said, “I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police Station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.
“I doubt it,” said the man, “Tonight, I’m the designated decoy. They all got away!”
About the founder of Irish Around The World:
Okay, some of you might be wondering.
Just who runs this Irish Around The World website??
Or maybe you don't care, haha.
My name is Stephen Palmer from Co. Cork and I have been involved in many Irish related projects over the years.
While it may seem this website is run by a whole team of highly skilled Irishmen, it is just run by myself.
So I want to thank you again for taking the time to subscribe and being a part of the community.
So how did you start a website about Irish people around the world Stephen?
Where it all began:
I created a website in 2013 to help Irish people who are moving to Australia and recently a new group to help Irish ex-pats who are returning to Ireland.
I have always enjoyed reading about Irish heritage and how connected Irish people are around the world.
But I felt that the websites out there did not connect the people to the information. Instead, they just published daily articles regardless if people cared about them or not.
So I decided to change it and create my own Facebook community called Irish Around The World.
It expanded to a group also called Irish Around The World, now with over 70k members!
Many of you have probably seen me popping in and out of our Facebook group has been amazing to see the interaction with each member.
There has been many ups and downs in the groups. Laughs and tears but every day, it continues to move forward. Thanks for being a part of it.
If you haven't joined yet, you don't know what you are missing, sign up here.
Thank you again for being a part of Irish Around The World.
Have a great day!
All the best,
Stephen Palmer
