Bay also called Grecian Laurell

Apollo  he loved Daphne

but sadly she never cared

she turned him down

so her father  acted as  a clown

he turned his daughter into a tree

a bay tree so i hear

an intro to a poem about the bay

which became clear

masculine its gender

ruled by the  planet Sun

the element of course was fire

deities  when done

Apollo Ceres &Eros

protection and psychic power

leaves placed under   ones pillow

prophetic dreams and how

burned causing some visions

.and negativity

it also deters cockroaches

and mice apparently.

placed in windows

preventing lightening strike

and of course fire

the berries are a  narcotic

at least  some will perspire

see visions  be claivoyant

warding off the poltergeist

very good in money spells

and love spells made  at sacred wells

In roman times

and greek times

a cure all i can say

it lowers blood sugar

and fights circulation

And eases digestion  woes too

clairvoyance and wisdom

in matters of love

there are wonderful spells

that come true

the  berries are quite the narcotic

strange dreams emanate so they say

and all from this weird little berry.

that hangs off the branch and some say

it is very potent, prophetic dreams cometh

as pain possibly slips away.

and most of us thought it just a leaf

in your rice in your soup come what may.
