Awelfa in Spring

Near my house is a track
It, doesn’t go that far
Bounded by bushes
And wild flowers that are
Edible many of them
Just free to eat
Where hedgehogs and even a stoat
Do compete

Sedums and ground Ivy clovers
As well
Dandelions, plantains
Shops do not sell
But they are for free here
Herbals that can
Be thought of as sacred
For yes common man

With sun in the sky
The dandelions they
Are awake with their petals
On each sunny day
The flowers and the stems can be eaten
For they
make a stem pasta
That’s really ok

The flowers in a salad
Helps tone up the skin
Strengthens our blood
It means we can win

Hands down, they are free
No money to pay
Every bit of the plant
Can be eaten each day
Dandelion tea from the leaves
Or the flowers
is good for our livers
It has restorative powers

Yes All around in the early light
The wild flowers love to be
A myriad of different plants
Growing cheerfully.
Wild garlic in the bushy shade
And lots of wild birds they
Come to pick up all the seeds
That brighten up each day.

The dry stone walls
Are everywhere
Where slow worms come and rest
Lichens mosses wild birds even
Move here for its best
A quiet public walk way
Just three houses here
I am the topper most White House
Where serenity my dear

Is always close
