In Tallaght, where the city breathes its lore, Dublin 24, a place of heart and more, Mountains watch over, tall and grand, As stories of old whisper through the land.
The streets are alive with laughter and cheer, A tapestry of cultures, all gathered here, From the bustling Square to the Village green, Every corner holds a tale unseen.
Tallaght Stadium roars with a crowd’s delight, As Shamrock Rovers take to the night, Echoes of goals and the fans’ embrace, In this spirited, lively, communal space.
Dodder and Tymon weave their way, Through parks where children run and play, Green spaces that breathe life anew, Where the past and the future gently strew.
Tallaght’s people, resilient and strong, In unity, they’ve carried on so long, With a history rich, diverse, and deep, Memories and dreams in their hearts they keep.
From the Old Bawn stones to the high-rise sky, In every sunset, in every sigh, Tallaght whispers its secrets, bold and bright, A community bound by love and light.
So here’s to Tallaght, Dublin 24, A place of pride, where spirits soar, Where every stone and every street, Tells a story, rich and sweet.
So we asked Gemini to pen us a poem with the same prompt
In Dublin’s sprawl, where mountains rise, Lies Tallaght, kissed by open skies. A modern heart with history’s touch, A tapestry woven, loved so much.
The Square aglow, a bustling beat, Shops and cafes line the street. Laughter rings, a friendly sound, Community on common ground.
Castles whisper, stories untold, Of battles fought and legends bold. The O’Tooles, their legacy grand, In echoes carried by the land.
Parks unfold, a verdant dream, Where families picnic, sunlight streams. The wind sighs soft through rustling leaves, A moment’s peace the spirit weaves.
Sports alight, a passionate roar, Tallaght Stadium, hearts soar. Colours clash, a thrilling chase, Victory’s dance, a joyous space.
From humble homes to soaring towers, A city’s spirit, unbowed by hours. Through changing times, a constant thread, The resilience of all who’ve tread.
So raise a glass, to Tallaght D24, A place that holds you, evermore. With open arms and stories bright, It shines a beacon, day and night.
