Poetry Taste #20: "St. Paddy's Day This Year"

It is different this year,
When celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.
I usually enjoy hard cider since I don’t like beer.

It is on a community food truck night over here,
Which means at least it falls on a Friday.
So it is different this year.

I have a planned path I need to adhere
To; being alcohol-free with no leeway.
I usually enjoy hard cider since I don’t like beer.

Instead I’ll focus on a relaxed atmosphere,
With mocktails, a minty milkshake or green entree.
Which makes it different this year.

How different I’ll need to celebrate is clear.
And from my plan, I won’t stray.
I usually enjoy hard cider since I don’t like beer.

Regardless of the festivities, there’ll be lots of cheer,
And the mood won’t be dull & grey.
It really is different this year,
Since I usually enjoy hard cider because I don’t like beer.

[Alyssa Scheidemann - 2023]

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
