( my gaelige is so bad here but it was my first ever rhyming poem as Gaeilge )

Spring

The birds are singing
Winter is asleep
The little flowers are waking
And raising their little heads

Colour is returning to nature
Happiness is alive in Spring
A blissful breeze blows
As the cold weather retreats

There is life in the wind
The baby animals are playing
The world is smiling
As our troubles sleep easy

ZOO  ( a short silly story that I wrote one day. It is all true. When I was 5 I didn't understand what I was saying and I really embaressed my mummy but when I wrote this poem and gave it to her she gave me 5 euro ! :) )

Nuair a bhí mé cúig bliana d'aois, chuaigh mé go dtí an zoo le mo mhamaí , mo Dhaidí, mo deartháir Adam agus mo dheirfiúr Saoirse.

Bhí athás an domhan orm.

 Is breá liom ainmhithe.

Chonic mé na tíogarí agus muc ag imirt peile.

Chonaic mé eilifint beag agus moncaí amhain freisin.

"A mhamaí” arsa mé “an raibh daidí ina chonaí sa zoo nuair a bhí sé óg"

"Níl" arsa mo mhamaí ag gaire "Cen fath ?"

"mar chuala mé tú ag caint le Saoirse

agus duirt tú "tá boladh le a moncaí ar a Dhad"

Bhí a aghaidh bán le sneachta nuair a chonic sé mo dhaidí

Chuala mo daidí an chomhrá

agus mothaigh sé dearg ar a aghaidh

agus shíl mo mhamaí go raibh sé dearg le fearg

agus mhothaigh sí uafasach

ach ní raibh fearg ar mo dhaidí

Bhí sé dearg le gáire :) :) :)

Zoo

When I was five years old I went to the zoo with my mummy, my daddy, my brother Adam and my sister Saoirse.

I was so happy! I love animals.

I saw the tigers and a pig playing football. I saw a little elephant and a monkey too.

“Mummy” I said “Did Daddy live in the zoo when he was little ?”

“No” said my mummy laughing. “Why ?”

“because I heard you talking with Saoirse once and you said

‘Your Daddy smells like a monkey’”

My mummy’s face went as white as snow

My daddy had heard the conversation

His face was red

And my mummy thought he was red with anger

And she felt very bad

But my daddy was not angry

He was red with laughter !!!  :)
