White mans footprint

Around my house at Awelfa
Lots of wild plants grow
Probably planted by angels and faeries
As we know
Also known as plantain broadleaves
And ribwort
The leaves are high in vitamin k
Edible I thought

Make a poultice with the leaves
It will cure the sting
Of wasp and bees and nettles
And rapidly will bring
Healing into focus
The dried buds also can
Be crushed and taste like mushrooms
Added to a pan

In awelfa’s apron wild plants
Come and go
A word of warning to anyone on warfarin
Please know
High vitamin K though may affect
The blood thinning and so
Use it as a spit bandage
But eating it just know
It can affect the bleeding
And counteract the meds
Otherwise a common herb
