Viking invasion
Brit occupation
evolution, revolution
bullet hole-riddled soul
ancient, urban, modern
U2 rock me; you, too,
call me, back
to you
to you

Dublin, Full of youthful exubrance, an amazing city of contrasts. It's history includes Viking, Norman and Anglo invasions and revolution, and it is known for its famous politicians, poets, writers, saints and entertainers. One of my all-time favorite places to visit. Shared at d'verse Poets Pub, Poetics~Going Urban

Enjoyed this, Ginny. My Irish DNA longs to visit that beautiful country some day. I enjoyed the "history lesson" as well.
