The Saint
Preface: I am Irish and I am making attempts to learn and speak my mother tongue, Irish/Gaeilge. As such, I would wrote the following poem in both English and translated it into Irish. Due to Vocal guidelines, only the English version is available. The full version is available on Mediun and Substack. Enjoy.

The sun is radiating down on the sweat stained clothes drying on the balcony, flittering through the palm branches gently rocked by the Mediterranean breeze.

Dr. Pierre Renoir & The Murder Game Murder
Bonjour! I am Dr. Pierre Renoir, world-renowned criminologist, working with international agencies to solve hundreds of crime cases, and this... would have been the case of The Murder Game Murder. I say “would have been” due to the interference of one blundering Irish taxi driver; Bucky O'Shea.
