Fraxinus Excelsior
\nWhich sounds a grand intro
\nDerived From the olive family
\nAnd, can this tree grow
\nUp to sixty feet
\nWay up into the sky
\nIts branches sweeping backwards
\nAnd no viper will ever lie
\nClose around or near an Ash
\nThey would rather slither through
\nA fire and its white embers
\nThan to come and frighten you<\/p>\n
Leaves of lime drawn lightness
\nA smooth, pale grey bark
\nBecoming fissured in older trees
\nWhere time has left its mark
\nJet black Sooty coloured buds
\nUpon this The goddess tree
\nDeep rooted twigs are thick and strong
\nIts how they have to be<\/p>\n
An amulet of Ash twigs
\nTwo six inch twigs you use
\nFastened with gold ribbon
\nWill banish Winters blues
\nA seeker of true spirit
\nA, moon mother too
\nThe wood makes wondrous
\nDruid wands
\nStraight grained
\nThus good and true<\/p>\n
Fresh leaves under your pillow
\nWill Thus provide for you
\nPsychic dreams they happen
\nAnd last the whole night through
\nOne day ASh is decked with leaves
\nThe next it could be bare
\nAn amazing transformation
\nWhich doesnt appear fair<\/p>\n
The first hint that Jack Frosts
\nAbout
\nAnd thats the leaves away
\nSo they will not, add to Autumn
\nApart from to dismay
\nThe keys or fruits are early
\nAnd surely they can be
\nPicked when green and pickled
\nIn vinegar each key<\/p>\n
Its not the tastiest pickle
\nBut is useful some do say
\nThe hottest logs imaginable
\nBuilding poles that play
\nWhere there might be shock or tension
\nThats the quality
\nTennis racqets snooker cue’s
\nHard wearing constancy<\/p>\n
Said to be a link between
\nThe Gods and bumans and the dead
\nThe bark attracts some lichens
\nAnd mosses too its said
\nThe sun and neptune
\nFire and water
\nMastership and power
\nOnly one thing negative
\nthe roots turn the soil sour<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
