A Limerick

There once was a Lady named Fay
Who went drinkin' one Saint Patty’s day
And when last she was seen
She was lookin' quite green
And the Fairie were leading the way

by: [RavenLynnBrown]

Naomh Pádraig

A long time ago, when the world was blue.

Fairies and elves roamed the earth easy to be found. Wearing blue hats and vests, they would dance over the hills and into the night. Celebrated in song and dance they were, then all changed as the turning of the tide. A man came from boat caring an odd symbol. A long shaft with a crosspiece one third of the way down from the top. “Very odd” the fey would say as they danced in the light. “This man he speaks of the sun and of snakes who bite.” But what were these ‘snakes’ he spoke of. As hard as the fey would search there were none of these legless ‘snakes’.

A brave young fairy volunteered to go and ask the strange man where to find these ‘snakes’ so that they could exile them, but when he came close to the man he crushed the brave soul to death. Screaming into the night the fey flew until the man hunted them down and crushed them all.

No one knows why but from that day on people would say that this man had chased the snakes from the land and he was celebrated every year by wearing his color of green.

2008-11-23 [Artsie_ladie]: Hmm... No photography section? Just working on MC, so I thought I'd ask. ;P

2008-11-23 [Nehirwen]: No, last year I had zero entries, so I've removed that part of the contest for this year.

2008-11-23 [Artsie_ladie]: Ah, I kinda' thought maybe. ;P

2008-11-23 [Nehirwen]: Always good to ask. :)

2008-11-24 [Artsie_ladie]: Oh, yeah. I agree because it never hurts to ask a question. If you don't ask questions, you're less likely to get answers. hehe

2008-11-24 [Nehirwen]: And one could do the wrong thing, for unnecessary reasons. ;)

2009-02-02 [Dibra the dark angel]: Time to see how good my drawing skills have become since I've been practicing

2009-02-16 [RavenLynnBrown]: I hate to be a pain, but I have to ask......Why are the badges for this contest four leaf clovers and not shamrocks.

2009-02-16 [Nehirwen]: Cause you get those (too) if you google shamrocks, and these give luck. :P

2009-02-16 [RavenLynnBrown]: Cool, that makes sense, talk luck to anyone Irish and you'll see our ears start to grow.

2009-02-16 [Nehirwen]: ;)

2009-03-17 [FamousPanda]: So, is there going to be polls?

2009-03-17 [Nehirwen]: >.<
*puts on to-do-list for today*

2009-03-18 [Nehirwen]: <img:17985_1127690355.gif> SPD Poll 2009 :)

2009-03-25 [Artsie_ladie]: Exported the page and added keywords. :)

2009-03-25 [Nehirwen]: Yes, I noticed. x) thanks

2009-03-25 [Artsie_ladie]: No problem. :) I see a lot of pages not exported. This is why when [Hedda] mentioned the 'exporting issue' on another page, one of the EPRM pages, I believe, I asked him, if I could go ahead and export pages that should be and he said to. It has happened that some of the pages got unexported, but I think [Hedda] squished that bug. hehe

2009-03-25 [Nehirwen]: Yeah, original this page was exported. In my memory anyway - but it seems I have the memory span of 3 seconds. :p
All festival pages are and should be exported, good you're checking it all. :)

2009-03-26 [RavenLynnBrown]: Congratulations, JaJaJulie and pegasus1000

2009-03-26 [Nehirwen]: I'll announce the poetry winner soon too. :)
