11. Entry from Kristy Szkudlarek
A Valentine’s poetry competition for lovers of history
A Valentine to St. Patrick
Oh, St. Patrick dear, with your emerald grin,
I’d trade all my gold just to slither in.
You chased all the serpents from hill and from glen,
But what if I politely invited them back again?
I’ll bring you shamrocks, a harp, and a hat,
And one cheeky python curled up on a mat.
They’ll hiss “Slytherin!” in a sultry, soft whisper,
But I swear they’re romantic, and really much crisper.
So banish me not, nor cast me away,
Just grant me one kiss on sweet Valentine’s Day!
Kristy Szkudlarek
