OH MR BLUE TIT
Oh Mr Blue Tit
How sweetly you sit
When into my garden
You pleasantly flit
Oh Mr Blue Tit
With your coat so blue
Take care in the garden
A cat is watching you
Oh Mr Blue Tit
You have seen it
As from my garden
You urgently flit
JOYOUS SKYLARKS
Silence fell across
The Vale, when joyous Skylarks
No longer sang their song
PANICLES
Panicles of vibrant pale purple,
Clusters of lilac flowers
Offered to the bee and butterfly
In the sunshine and the showers
THE KITCHEN GARDEN
Umbrella-shaped flower heads
Borne upon their stems
With fragrant open umbel
Sway in the gentle breeze
Of the kitchen garden
Stirring parsley, dill, and fennel
PASTORAL VOCATION
On the open moor land
Shepherds roam
In pastoral vocation
Leading a nomadic life
Following the seasons
In symbiotic union
With ewe and lambkin
IN THE COTTAGE GARDEN BEDS
In the sunny cottage garden
The hollyhocks thrive
Pleasing to the eye
And loved by the butterflies
Hollyhocks are the eatery
For larvae to thrive
Perpetuating the Painted Lady
Also pleasing to the eye
SKYLARKS
Skylarks sing songs of joy
The sweetest you will find
Serenading the young at heart
And the romantically inclined
ROSA RUBIGINOSA
Rosa rubiginosa
Eglantine, will be seen
Rosa eglanteria, of Eurasia
Sweetbriar of desire
CHANTICLEER ****
In the farmyard
Where the chickens scratch
A Chanticleer **** keeps an eye
On his clucking batch
But if some unfortunate
Mishap should befall
Leaving the farmyard
With no **** at all
Then nature will take a hand
To correct the mishap
Turning one of the scratchy hens
Into a chap
ALBATROSS
The Albatross on the wing
Over southern ocean
The sun gleaming
On it’s out span pinion
ASTER
Aster, starflower of the Gods
Pleasing to the varied eye
In their beauteous abundance
And loved equally by the butterflies
BOUNTY
Carrots and Swedes,
Fruits and Berries,
Potatoes and Grasses,
Beans and Peas,
Nuts and seeds,
Growing all around,
Mother natures bounty,
Planted in the ground
DELPHINIUM
Delphinium, The dolphin flower
From Delphis, The Greek for Dolphin
With bottle shaped blooms like a dolphins nose
The golden Buttercup is its Cousin
More humbly known as Larkspur
Gracing the meadowland they’re found in
SEE THE **** BIRD STRUT
See the **** bird strut
His dance of spring
With flaunting feathers
He will gayly sing
In hope of delivering
Cupids amourous sting
TALES OF THE RIVERBANK
A bee sipping nectar from a flower
A sparrow sipping dew from a leaf
A butterfly on his way to somewhere
Pays us a visit but it was only brief
A duck quacks out on the water
And we hear a Kingfisher splash
An elegant swan glides effortlessly by
And the dragonfly makes a dash
RUDDY MALLARD
Ruddy Mallard
Ruddy Duck
Ruddy complexioned
Ruddy birdwatchers
CAUGHT IN THAT FIRST INSTANT
Caught in that first instant,
That first take, from a distance
There appeared from the Woodlands edge
A kind of low misty apparition
Almost like a cloud of drifting smoke
Emerging from the tree line
Of course when I got closer I realised
It was just the flowering Hawthorn
