Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Cries of Banshees

In Irish lore a banshee be

A crier of a coming death,

In form of a female fairy.

When heard, all humans hold their breath.

And more than one banshee does cry

When a human holy and great

In Ireland is about to die,

Banshees gather to cry such fate.

And so in year 461,

March 17th, banshees were heard.

Cries echoed 'cross Ireland begun

Soon after Irish got the word.

A chorus of the banshees cried

On the sad day Saint Patrick died.
